                Answer This Question

                A:  Hello Ernie, thank you for your question. Currently, there's no industry standard or regulation for manufacturing LEDs, which is why performance varies with dimming controls. That's why we extensively test a variety of LEDs from many different manufacturers and offer a mobile-friendly web tool to help you select bulbs or fixtures that provide the best dimming performance with your Lutron dimmers. To access the tool, please visit lutron.com/ledfinder. For the Maestro LED+ dimmer, it may be used with either LED bulbs or integrated permanently installed fixtures, provided they are specced and compatible with the dimmer, so we recommend always ensuring that your LEDs are tested and approved by Lutron. We hope this helps! If you have additional questions, please reach out to our 24/7 Support Team at support@lutron.com or give us a call at 1-844-LUTRON1.

                  Q:This dimmer switch gives my LED Foxlux recessed lights a really good range of brightness but when the lights are dimmed and then turned off, the dinner switch has to be turned up quite a bit before the lights will come back on. What causes this?

                  A:  "We're sorry to hear about your experience with MACL-153M. The dimming range for LEDs varies from bulb to bulb depending on the bulb's design. That's why we engineered our LED+ (formerly called C·L) dimmers with a low-end adjustment, which allows you to adjust the dimming range of your LED bulb. For easy step-by-step instructions for adjusting the dimming range, please see step 7 in the following guide: https://assets.lutron.com/a/documents/Replacing_a_dimmer_with_a_dimmer.pdf We also suggest making sure we've tested and approved your dimmable LED. Lutron offers a mobile-friendly web tool to help you select bulbs that work best with Lutron dimmers. To use the tool, please visit lutron.com/ledfinder. If you have additional questions or concerns, we're happy to help. Please reach out to our Customer Satisfaction team at customersatisfaction@lutron.com, or call us at 1-844-LUTRON1.
