dimmers create ambiance and save energy

robust design

solid state triac dimming

Lutron

® selects reliable, solid-state triacs

that exceed the control’s rated capacity.

Control will dim full rated wattage capacity.

surge protection

Tested to withstand surges

of 6000 V, 200 A

meeting ANSI/IEEE

Std. C62.41-1980.

ﬁltering network

Large toroidal

choke minimizes

or eliminates radio

frequency interference.

air-gap switch

Safety feature that disconnects

power from the load when

lights are off.

heat transfer technology

Engineered full-sized heat sinks transfer

heat away from integral components,

so they operate cooler than the rated

temperature – resulting in long product life.

power-failure memory

Light is restored to the same level

set prior to the power-failure.

UV stable color

Tested for color stability when exposed to sunlight

as deﬁned in ASTM D4674-89.

voltage compensation

Reduces light ﬂuctuations that

can accompany line-voltage variation.

precise color

consistency

To assure color

consistency

all Lutron products

meet Lutron’s

stringent color

tolerances of ∆E<1.0,

CIE L*a*b* color

space units.

Lutron

The name means

quality, reliability, and

beautiful aesthetics.

Square law dimming

Slider position indicates the

perceived light level.

electrostatic

discharge protection

Protecting against static

discharge up to 16kV.

no exposed metal

Wallplates conceal heat sink and mounting

hardware for a sleek appearance on all

thin-proﬁle controls – no open bottom/open

top needed for convection cooling.

elegant aesthetics

All Lutron

® products are end-of-line tested. All Lutron® products are UL listed and/or CSA, CE, or NOM approved.
