C L Dimmers C L dimmers are forward phase dimmers specifically designed for controlling dimmable LEDs, incandescent, and halogen bulbs. They re the result of our commitment to providing the best LED dimming experience to our customers. Part of that commitment also includes working with bulb manufacturers to find and test bulbs that work well with C L dimmers through our LED Control Center of Excellence (see page 21 for more information). 3 Lutron
150 W of LED/600 W of incandescent / halogen THE LUTRON DIFFERENCE A standard LED is 9 W. With a 150 W dimmer, you can dim 16 bulbs on a single dimmer. Most homes have 22 switches and about 50 to 60 bulbs, so you probably won t need more than 150 W of LED dimming on any one circuit. (If you do, Lutron has a 250 W C L model that can dim 27 bulbs at 9 W.) 1 150 W C L DIMMER 1 250 W C L DIMMER = = Works with these bulb types: Dimmable LEDs, dimmable CFLs, incandescent, and halogen bulbs. You can also mix bulb types with C L dimmers something you can t do with other dimmers. LED CFL Incandescent / Halogen C L dimmers can dim these loads 4 Lutron
C L Dimmers THE LUTRON DIFFERENCE Eliminate dimmer interaction This is a common problem that occurs in a home with multiple dimmers. When you adjust one of the dimmers, the lights in the other room(s) with dimmers flicker. Non C L dimmers Lights in dining room can flicker when dimmer in kitchen is adjusted X C L dimmers Alleviate dimmer interaction for smooth, flicker-free dimming ü 5 Lutron
Work with all wire temperature ratings C L dimmers don t require 75 C wire to operate, unlike some other dimmers. 50 % Homes built before 1980 50 % Homes built after 1980 Easily set the low-end trim Optimizing the dimmer s low end is easy. Simply adjust the lever on the side or through button-press programming (for digital dimmers). THE LUTRON DIFFERENCE Temp rating: 60 C 75 C Temp rating: 75 C With C L dimmers, there is no neutral required X 6 Lutron

0 10 V Dimmers 0-10V dimmers have two separate communication wires that send a signal to the fixture indicating the light level that needs to be achieved. These dimmers, which require a 0-10V ballast or driver, are used extensively in commercial buildings. 15 Lutron
How is a 0 10 V dimmer different from other dimmers? It has additional wires that communicate with the fixture by sending signals between 0 volts and 10 volts. These signals correlate to a brightness level for the fixture.

BULBS & SENSORS 20 Lutron
Testing LED Bulb Performance We test bulbs on an ongoing basis for performance with our dimmers, and receive hundreds of test requests annually. Through our LED Control Center of Excellence, we test each bulb across multiple parameters before listing it as compatible. 21 Lutron
We first test bulbs for UL safety. A bulb must pass this test in order to move on to performance testing. Each bulb is then tested for: Minimum and maximum load Buzzing/audible noise Start-up time Flicker/shimmer Stability from line noise Electrical properties Bulb manufacturers Here are just some of the many bulb manufacturers that participate in Lutron s compatibility testing: 22 Lutron
Once a bulb is deemed compatible we add it to our LED tools: LED compatibility tool Easily find an LED bulb for a C L dimmer or a C L dimmer for an LED bulb lutron.com/bulbselector 23 Lutron
