Dimming CFLs and LEDs
Dimming saves energy while setting the right light level to improve mood and ambiance. Screw-in compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and screw-in light emitting diode bulbs (LEDs) are a great energy-saving alternative to incandescent or halogen light sources; however, dimming them may be difficult. Lutron’s new C•L™ Dimmers for dimmable CFL and LED bulbs have HED™ Technology which helps alleviate your CFL and LED dimming challenges.
Challenges of Dimming CFLs and LEDs with Standard Dimmers

Lutron CL Bulb typeEnergy-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.

Common issues include:

Reduced dimming range: Incandescent/halogen bulbs will typically dim lower than CFL or LED bulbs. Most dimmable CFLs will dim down to 10% to 30% measured light output. Early versions of dimmable LEDs on the market have the ability to dim lower than CFLs and can reach levels as low as 5% to 15% measured light. The actual dimming range is dictated by the bulb’s circuitry.

Lights dropping out: As CFL or LED bulbs are dimmed, they will sometimes turn off before the slider reaches the bottom. Referred to as “drop out,” this makes it extremely difficult to set the dimmer at the right level without bulbs turning off.

Lights not turning on: After being dimmed to a low light level and switched off, sometimes CFL or LED bulbs will not turn on until the dimmer’s slider is moved up. This is referred to as “pop-on,” which is especially challenging in 3-way situations where lights can be turned on/off from different locations, not just using the dimmer.

Lights turning off unexpectedly: Dimmable CFL and LED bulbs can be influenced by line voltage fluctuations. As your incandescent bulbs will sometimes dim or flicker when a device such as air-conditioning or a hair dryer is used, a dimmed CFL or LED can actually turn off or flicker excessively in those situations.

Note: Actual performance of any CFL or LED will vary from bulb type to bulb type and among different manufacturers. It is important to note that only bulbs that have been designed as dimmable should be used on a dimmer. To find out if your bulb is dimmable, please check the package, the bulb itself, or call the bulb manufacturer directly.

New Dimmers from Lutron
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
About HED Technology: HED Technology features advanced dimming circuitry that is designed for compatibility with most high efficacy light bulbs.

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™, Luméa®, Ariadni®/Toggler® and Credenza® product families.
Adjustment Dial
Lutron CL adjustment DialYou may have noticed that your 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.

Bulbs Approved for Use with this Dimmer
Per UL standard 1472, Lutron must test each bulb to ensure its compatibility with our C·L dimmers. For a list of compatible bulbs click on the link below. This list will be updated as Lutron tests more bulbs. Please check back regularly for updates.

Construction:Slim, low profile LED design with rugged one-piece, die-cast aluminum hinged removable door and back box. Matching housing styles incorporate both a small and large design. Patent pending secure lock hinge feature allows for safe and easy tool-less electrical connections with the supplied lever-lock connectors. Back box includes three (3) half-inch, NPT threaded conduit entry points. The universal back box supports both the small and large forms and mounts to standard 3-1/2” to 4” round and octagonal, 4” square, single gang and masonry junction boxes. Key hole gasket allows for adaptation to junction box or wall. External fin design extracts heat from the fixture surface. One-piece silicone gasket seals door and back box. Not recommended for car wash applications.
Optical:Silicone sealed optical LED chamber incorporates a custom engineered mirrored anodized reflector providing high-efficiency illumination. Optical assembly includes impact-resistant tempered glass and meets IESNA requirements for full cutoff compliance. Solid state LED Crosstour luminaries are thermally optimized with five (5) lumen packages in cool 5000K LED color temperature (CCT).
Electrical:LED driver is mounted to the diecast housing for optimal heat sinking. LED thermal management system incorporates both conduction and natural convection to transfer heat rapidly away from the LED source. 10W models operate in -40°C to 40°C [-40°F to 104°F]. Crosstour luminaires maintain greater than 70% of initial light output after 50,000 hours of operation. Three (3) half-inch NPT threaded conduit entry points allow for thru-branch wiring. Back box is an authorized electrical wiring compartment. Integral LED electronic driver incorporate surge protection. 10W, 120V 50/60 Hz.
Finish:Crosstour is protected with a Super TGIC carbon bronze polyester powder coat paint.
