Lutron C·L dimmers with HED Technology
also provide full-range dimming for halogen and incandescent
bulbs, ensuring today’s dimmer is compatible with tomorrow’s
light sources. The dimmer can even dim a mixed load of light
sources (i.e. LED and halogen or CFL and LED bulbs on the same
circuit). C·L dimmers are available in our Diva®,
Skylark Contour™, Ariadni® and Credenza Lamp Dimmer
product families.
Note to customers:
Lutron must test each bulb to ensure its compatibility with
its C·L dimmers. For a list of compatible bulbs, click

more bulbs. Please check back regularly for updates.

Energy-saving CFLs have been in the marketplace
for many years but a broad range of dimmable bulbs has only
recently become available. LEDs are even newer to the market
and dimmable versions are also only recently available.
These dimmable bulbs, especially CFLs, have
historically presented problems when used on standard incandescent
dimmers.
To help combat these issues, Lutron has developed
a family of C·L dimmers for dimmable CFL and LED bulbs.
By incorporating HED Technology, these dimmers improve the dimming
performance of dimmable CFLs and LEDs compared to standard dimmers
by:
- Keeping the lights on as they are dimmed
- Making sure the lights turn on at all light levels
- Eliminating/reducing excessive flicker
- Keeping the lights on even with line voltage fluctuations
You may have noticed that your C·L wall-mounted
dimmer is equipped with an adjustment dial*. Because performance
is so varied from bulb to bulb or manufacturer to manufacturer,
the adjustment dial will help you set the bottom of the dimming
range for your particular bulbs.

*Maestro C·L Dimmers do not have
an adjustment dial, but use an Advanced Programming Mode (APM)
instead. In some applications using LED and CFL bulbs, it may
be necessary to lower the High-End Trim to acheive an optimun
dim range.
