Applications
- Residential dimming for kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, and dining areas
- LED retrofit upgrades where improved low-end dimming performance is needed
- Multi-location lighting control using single-pole/3-way configurations (with mechanical switches)
- Mixed lamp installations (LED/CFL with incandescent/halogen) where wattage limits are observed
- Designer wallplate installations using coordinating Claro or stainless wallplates (sold separately)
Installation Tips
- Use dimmable lamps only: When dimming LEDs or CFLs, only bulbs marked or rated as DIMMABLE should be used.
- Confirm wallbox depth: Use a U.S. wallbox with a minimum depth of 2.5 in (64 mm).
- Multigang derating matters: When installing multiple dimmers in the same wallbox, side section removal may be required and will reduce allowable wattage.
- Set low-end correctly: Set the slider to the bottom before adjusting the low-end dimming limit using the internal adjustment (lever-type or wheel-type, depending on model).
- 4-way wiring note: In 4-way applications, the dimmer must be installed on the Line Side or Load Side; it cannot be installed in the 4-way location.
FAQ
What loads can the DVSCCL-153P control?
It is UL Listed to control dimmable LEDs, dimmable CFL (integrated ballast), Lutron LTEA Hi-lume 1% forward-phase LED driver loads, halogen, and incandescent lighting.
What are the maximum wattage ratings?
It is rated for 150 W dimmable LED/CFL, 600 W incandescent/halogen, or 250 W of Lutron LTEA Hi-lume 1% forward-phase LED driver load (maximum 6 drivers), subject to multigang and mixed-load limits.
Is this dimmer suitable for indoor or outdoor use?
This control is for indoor use only.
Does it work in 3-way or 4-way applications?
Yes. It supports single-pole and 3-way installations. For 4-way wiring, the dimmer must be installed on the line side or load side and cannot be installed in the 4-way location.
What is the purpose of the low-end adjustment?
Low-end adjustment helps fine-tune the dimming range to accommodate a wider variety of lamps and improve performance at lower light levels.
What happens after a power outage?
The dimmer includes power-failure memory, returning the lighting to its previous setting after power is restored.
Does the dimmer disconnect power for servicing?
Yes. It includes a mechanical air-gap switch that disconnects load power.
How does multigang installation affect ratings?
In multigang installations, removing side sections may be necessary and can reduce maximum allowable wattage. Mixed bulb types also affect maximum ratings and must be calculated before installation.
