Which LED dimmer is better?

11 years ago

Which LED dimmer is better? In fact, I don 't need multi-location feature. I am going to buy dimmers for LED recessed lights, each dimmer controlling 3 recessed lights.

Lutron Maestro 150-Watt Single Pole 3-Way or Multi-Location Digital CFL LED Dimmer - White

Lutron Diva 150-Watt Single Pole 3-Way CFL LED Dimmer - White

Thank you very much.

Make sure your LED recessed lights have enough draw to work with your dimmer.

Other than that, go with simple. If you don't need multilocation, then don't get that one. I did. And, although advertised as can work with a regular 3 way on the other end, we haven't (electrician and I) gotten it to work as advertised. I ended up needing to buy the companion switch so it'd work in my kitchen with my 6 LED can lights the way I wanted...and I haven't gotten it to work nicely with my upstairs light using just a regular 3way on the other end...

The one the LED manufacturer recommends.
