A great dimmer for halogen/incandescent lights.
August 30, 2017
Perfected the performance of my track lights. A great dimmer for halogen/incandescent lights. This particular model is only for these applications and much appreciated in my case. I have a particular track light that I enjoy but wanted to replace an older Lutron switch running it. It's packed with features from dimming fade in and out settings to letting you perfect the high/low thresholds to saving your favorite presets. I have this installed as part of a 4 gang box all using Lutron Claro hardware. Just a great product.
Great product - works with my LEDs,
December 28, 2014
I saw another review that said they did not work with LED bulbs, That was back in 2011. I can say that they work with mine. I'm running 5 bulbs on one of these. Works beautifully. Saw another review where the switches were breaking from continuous use. Haven't had it long, but it seems sturdy enough. Love the fade on and fade off function. Pleased. Bought mine for about $18, now I see they are $30. Waiting for the price to come down to get a few more.
Awesome Dimmer
May 22, 2014
We recently remodeled our basement and wanted to use Decora style plugs/plates throughout. I've always been a fan of Lutron's dimmers/switches so we primary used those for lights and the Leviton R62-16352-OWS for the outlets, along with the Lutron Claro wall plates.

We've been using this style of Lutron's dimmers for several years and have never had any issues with them. I really like the fade in/fade out when the switch is turned on or off, and the ability to save your "favorite" light level is an added bonus.

The instructions are well written; Even someone with little electrical experience should be able to install this dimmer.
Great switch
September 21, 2011
I purchased this switch to replace a round push-in style dimmer which had broken. I received the dimmer and installed it in about 15 minutes as mentioned on the packaging. As I was installing within a 2-gang panel, the included screwless plate required simple removal and placed to the side. In a normal install where you use the plate, this is still required. The screws to attach the switch to the box are included as well as a wire nut for the ground wire. While the ground wire is included, it appears to be loosely attached and may come off if the switch is moved to another location. I would suggest Lutron include a ground screw as is standard with most outlets and switches. Finishing up the install was simple and the completed switch fit neatly inside of a non-Lutron 2-gang face plate.Once installed the dimmer performed as expected providing dimming, time delayed off, 2-click full on, and progressive power off (all with synced LED indicators). While all features work as expected, the press buttons do seem to have some 'play' but they always appear flat at the front. These switches also look great with the Altus SSK-1-WH10 15-Amp-120 Volt/277V Decorative Single Pole Switch, 10-Pack, White (and face plates from same brand) I bought at the same time.Overall definitely worth it any I plan to buy the maestro timer from the same brand.

Excellent dimmer but if you are buying LED bulbs, make sure you buy compatible LED bulbs..not all work even under the same maker
January 22, 2017
These dimmers look nice and work well. We have one controlling 9 "40 watt equivalent" candelabra LEDs and one controlling two 100 watt "regular shaped" equivalent LEDs. They work well in dimming both and adjusting the max light you want when you turn it on each time. The problem with dimmers is you have to find the bulbs that match and work with the brand and model you use (such as Lutron). I had to try 6 different brands/models before I found one that I liked that worked with the dimmer. And these are really picky..I had actually picked 2 other almost identical candelabra bulbs of the same maker - Kichler before I found a third type of candelabra bulb by Kichler that DID work with the dimmer. So, av oid frustration and be sure you are picking compatible bulbs - it is not necessarily easy to pick the right ones the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time unless you print out their compatibility list (for the Lutron dimmer you use).
Great Dimmer. Works great with Torchstar dimmable LEDs.
July 19, 2016
Great Dimmer. Works great with Torchstar dimmable LEDs. I used over-sized wall plates to keep fingerprints off the wall. The spacing of the electrical boxes was accidentally perfect. Sometimes things work out.
Solved my problem of LED lights flickering when solar panels were active!
July 16, 2016
Completely resolved a symptom of dimmable LED bulbs flickering in our dining room with the older Leviton TrueTouch TTI06-1, which I had installed just in 2013 and worked perfectly until we had solar panels installed on our house. Once solar was installed, for some reason the Leviton would cause the lights to flicker at all levels except full brightness whenever it was even partially daylight and the panels were producing even the minimal output. At night, lights dimmed just fine with Leviton.But now, with the Lutron Maestro dimmer, the LED bulbs never flicker. I also like the ability to set the lowest level based on when your LED bulbs first light up at the dimmest brightness. That's a dimmer feature I haven't seen in any other dimmer, and it worked perfectly and the bulbs can actually be dimmed much lower than with the old Leviton (almost to a nightlight level).Other features:* Click once to return to previous brightness level when last turned off* Double-click to installing bring to full brightness* Clicking lights off causes a gradual dimming to off (nice effect).Very happy customer. I would highly recommend this dimmer for those with LED or CFL lights, but also anyone looking for a good dimmer in general.
Works perfectly, as advertised.
March 10, 2016
I am using this in my living room and it's controlling 4 Cree recess mounted LED bulbs. The default dimmest setting works well with the bulbs. I haven't seen any flickering at all. When you turn off, it remembers the last brightness level and it also indicates the level by illuminating the appropriate LED. You can double tap the switch to turn it ON at full brightness or single tap to turn it ON at the last brightness level.Pressing and holding the switch for some time enters the switch into programming mode, where you can change the minimum dim level. My 5 year old once accidentally did it (instead of pressing the dimmer buttons on the side) and it entered the programming mode. Fortunately, she didn't change anything. After telling her how to use the dimmer, she hasn't messed with it again. Something to watch for if you have toddlers at home.
Some bulbs will buzz.
October 1, 2015
I purchased some LEDs from a warehouse store, Feit CELEDRT56/927/2. With this dimmer they buzzed, not terrible and I probably could live with it, but it's still noticeable. After significant research I found an online review for the same warehouse store of a very similar product (LEDR56/827/4) and that reviewer claimed they had purchased the in-store product (927) and it buzzed with this and several other dimmers, and they tried the online product (827) and no buzz. For reference, that last number (/2, /4) in the models seems to indicate the number of lights in the package.I also tried a Luminus CU692 C021 and it buzzed as well. Again, not terrible, but noticeable. So I'm really hoping the Feit 827's don't buzz so I can return all the buzzing bulbs! I'll try to remember to update this review once the 827's arrive.As for this dimmer, it's great. Looks nice, I really like the way it works and especially like how easy it is to adjust the "low point" of the dimmer. Other products I've seen require taking at least the wall plate off, this one adjusts with the front controls. I plan to use this switch everywhere in my condo that I want a dimmer switch.
Works great with LED fixtures in my kitchen
October 12, 2013
This dimmer is driving a bank of three pendant lights, containing Philips LED bulbs, over a kitchen island.I had already returned two different dimmers to my local hardware store because one was stuck "on" (probably defective) and the other produced distracting flickering; I was about to give up, but am glad I finally ordered this Lutron dimmer. Installation was easy with clear instructions.Performance was satisfactory right out of the box, but Lutron also provided a simple calibration method that lets you store the minimum stable brightness of the bulbs, thus establishing an optimal control range for any given installation. I haven't measured the power consumption, but speaking subjectively, I'd estimate that the default settings got these bulbs down to about 30% of full brightness; after calibration they seem to dim further, to something like 20%. I think it is impossible to make LED bulbs emit a bare trickle of light like you can do with incandescents, but this is pretty darned good.

Great, lookikg to buy these for every room.
December 21, 2016
Buttons are a bit annoying to interact with due to the fact that they aren't so easy to click as their size suggests. But aside from the small nuisance most people won't pay attention to, this is a great looking and feature filled switch. Download the full manual from Google and see what this switch can really do because the booklet included doesn't list all the features.
Looks great, installation a (literal) snap once I figured it out!
December 19, 2016
I've had one of these in place for the last 15 years or so, and the switch finally broke recently. I'll assume this to be as reliable & robust as the others, though you never know & i'd hate to wait 15 years to post a review. Installation was (mostly) easy. The only complication was the faceplate. This is the first time I'd used these "Maestro" faceplates with the hidden mounting screws, and I couldn't initially figure out how to get the decorative plate off out of fear of breaking it. I spent a few minutes tugging & peering into the gap between them hoping to find the secret, but it turns out there's no real trick: the plate is held on with a series of tabs near the switch area, & you just have to insert a small screwdriver in between the 2 plates there & carefully twist. Unfortunately, the installation instructions cover every possible installation variation but fail to mention the basic "how to remove the faceplate without breaking your $30 switch".Looks great, works just as expected. The only hiccup was down to my lack of experience & Lutron's assumption that everybody just knows how these plates are snapped together.
Almost perfect dimmers, the standard for form and function in switches
February 15, 2015
Lutron Maestro switches to me represent almost perfection in form and function. They replace regular dimmer switches, and introduce an almost perfect balance of usability (you can always tell whether its on or off, and what setting its at on or off) and looks. And that's not all, they're programmable for how quickly they fade, and what level they switch on to. They look very elegant and modern with square lines and subtly curved corners, and are available in an almost endless array of colors and situation options (single pole, dual pole, magnetic lighting, etc.)I only take a star off because I've had two different ones go bad on me over one year - in one the rocker switch got stuck in the on position, and another just blew some internal circuit. They're expensive to replace which makes me feel grouchy. However, I wouldn't buy anything else, which is a testament to their design/quality.
Works great but be careful of which light bulbs you will use it for.
December 17, 2014
I have mixed feelings about the 4 star rating I gave this item. I originally purchased it to dim the lights of my dining room globe light but it did not seem to like it. The globe light immediately began buzzing with a high buzz at low lighting and faint buzzing at maximum. The next day the globe light bulb went out and I had to buy a second one. I thought about returning the item but instead decided to use it in our theater room which has spot track lighting. There it worked like a charm with no issues so we are keeping it.
nice dimmer
March 6, 2014
I have a bunch of these installed in my house and I like how they function and how well they work. I have them wired as two way and three way switches/dimmers and they work very well in that configuration. I also have the infrared wireless versions and those work very well, also. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is because I've had two break after about a year or two of use in my bathroom (highest use in the house) and replaced them with the same both times. All the others in the house have never had a problem. Overall I like them a lot and will continue to use them.
Excellent replacement switch.
December 26, 2012
This will be the 5th Lutron dimmer I've put in the house, I have 3 of the Maestro's with IR remote and two of these. Installation was as simple as installing a standard single pole switch.My only complaint that was strong enough for my to drop a star was that finding the right color for these is incredibly difficult. Some of the Lutron switches have color options on the product page, most don't so you have to plod through page after page to find what you're looking for.

Unreliable... Internittant Problems
August 9, 2017
UPDATE... Turns out its not the switch at fault. A problem between a main electrical panel and a sub-panel with an attached but defective surge protector was causing strange, intermittant problems. all is well now.This is about the Maestro-switches...After 2 months, the switch started dimming all the way to shutoff. It started at night and at the same time all the little brightness-level lights on the front of the switch would start rapidly blinking on/off. By morning the switch was back to working again but then the same problem would start all over again after a few hours of use. I had 2 of them so i swapped one for the other and the same problem started with the new switch about a month later.I think the problem is limited to the "Maestro" line of switches since they dont have on/off rocker switches or an up/down slider for the dimmer. I got them on sale so have decided to just throw them out and get some other switch. I would recommend looking at other dimmers since i think this problem may be exclusive to the Lutron "Maestro" line of switches.
which I like. Only "con" for me is that for 3-way ...
May 2, 2017
Got several of these and they're working well for my recessed LED ceiling lights and and also an incandescent fixture. No flickering or humming. They're instant on, and fade-to-off, which I like. Only "con" for me is that for 3-way switching where you don't use a Lutron "companion dimmer" switch, then you have to rewire the other existing paired switch differently. I was uncomfortable doing it that way the first time, but I followed the instructions and all was good. After that first one, the others were easy to do.
Reasonable product
January 16, 2017
I like this product in general. It remembers your last setting (some switches don't do that) and has a nice appearance.There were two things that I did not like about the product:1) It does not protect itself from bad wiring. I made one mistake and the switch was irreparably damaged. (WeMo, for instance, is much more idiot proof.)2) When I have very low Watt LEDs, the switch is struggling to turn them on. I have to set the brightness all the way up, and them dim down again.I'm curious if others experienced the same.
Cool but adjustment can be cumbersome
December 28, 2016
Very cool dimmer. I love the gradual on/off dimming effect, the LED light indicators and the modern appearance. However, practically speaking, if you adjust the light level very frequently, it takes longer to go from low to high than your typical dimmer and can get a little cumbersome. Because of this, I find myself mostly using the on/off button and not changing the light level very frequently since I installed this.
Overall I am fairly happy with this purchase
March 13, 2016
Overall I am fairly happy with this purchase. It arrived in short order as with almost all my orders on amazon and in good well packaged condition. The default dimmest setting works well with the bulbs I have installed in my home. I haven't seen any flickering since I installed this unit back in January. One of the nicer features the switch offers is that when you turn it off, the switch remembers the last brightness level and it also indicates the level by illuminating a small LED on a scale. You can double tap the switch to turn it back on at its full brightness or single tap to turn it ON at the last brightness level. My one gripe other than the price, and constant changing price is that the LED indicators for brightness level are quite dim and small. I find them slightly difficult to see at just a quick glance, and require a double take of the unit.
Great control of light levels
November 11, 2013
Bought these in anticipation of LED replacement bulbs in our ceiling can fixtures. They install easily (if you've done any wiring before) and work very well...excellent control of light levels, and the double-tap feature for full brightness is a great convenience (over traditional analog dimmers).I ding it 1 star because: 1) there is momentary delay between flipping the switch and lights coming on and 2) beware that installation instructions may be insufficient for your installation, depending on your wiring. For a single switch installation, the instructions are good. For a multi-location (i.e. 3-way switch) install, there are different ways your wiring may be configured, depending on switch and load locations--i.e. which switch location gets power, where is the load (light) in relation to the two switches, etc. What you knew about 3-way wiring (i.e. common, traveler, etc) may be irrelevant. Fortunately, Lutron has an 800-number for technical support. They are very good and were able to help me reconfigure/wire the switches in < 5 minutes!

NOT FOR LED
September 24, 2017
Probably works like it should BUT item description is misleading. In one section it says this works with LEDs, but then in another says it is not for LEDs.Do not buy for LEDs. You must purchase the MACL-153M-WH instead regardless of whether you need single or multi-pole.Now I'm stuck with the wrong $26 switch.

February 25, 2017
FYI, this is NOT compatible with Lithonia Acutiy brand LK4G2 fixtures. It is on their product spec sheet as being compatible but it is not. Lutron changed the spec and it no longer works properly with the Lithonia recessed fixture. Lithonia confirmed this information.
kind of like a night light
March 4, 2016
I changed my bulbs for led ones and it leaves one on. It's really low lighting, kind of like a night light. It's not to terrible bc we do use it as a night light but I would like it much better if it turned the lights off completely.
put it in another room and it works fine.
October 12, 2015
tried to put it in my foyer overhead but it doesn't work with my lighting kit. not sure why but it barely turns on then resets over and over. probably the lighting kit. not sure. put it in another room and it works fine.
Warning
May 8, 2014
This switch will not work on LED lights under 40 watts....Most LED light fixtures for the kitchen are around 24 watts.Must use a sliding dimmer switchI'm sure this switch is great with Incandescence lights or halogens
Does what its supposed to
December 26, 2012
Nice product. Doesn't get full stars because you cant set a permanent light level, it only remembers the last setting. Also, VERY awkward in my guest bathroom as guests can't figure out to push rather than flip a switch. Maybe that says says something about my guests ;)the gradual on and off dimming is very nice

simple operation, tricky set-up, check LED bulb compatibility before buying
June 17, 2017
Works as advertised. Wiring was quick. Operation is simple. But, digital setup was a bit tricky, and took some trial and error - I would suggest Lutron try to make that step slightly more user friendly in future models.I'm slowly converting my lighting to LED. I bought this for our kitchen, and was hoping it would be compatible with the LED lights I bought from Amazon: ASELIGHT 8W ST21(ST64) LED Filament bulb Dimmable Edison Style E26 2700K. Although the bulbs were advertised as dimmable (and they were), they were not compatible with the Maestro. Check Lutron's compatibility chart for this model prior to buying LED bulbs if you want proper functionality.
Though these switches are compatible with Cree LED cans, ...
May 25, 2017
Though these switches are compatible with Cree LED cans, I couldn't get it to work in one of my rooms. After talking to Lutron customer support, I discovered that if the load is too low, the switch will not function properly. I had this hooked up to 4 13watt (100watt equivalent) ceiling cans. When I replaced one of the cans with a regular incandescent bulb (100 watts) as a test, the switch operated perfectly.If you are going to use the dimmer with a low load, I would suggest using the analog Lutron Diva rather than this digital product. I have since switched to the Diva and have had no problems.
I like that you can double-tap to get max brightness
January 26, 2016
Works OK, but has a non-intuitive use interface. The entire face is a button - not a rocker switch, which confuses everyone who touches it. I like that you can double-tap to get max brightness, but overall it seems like there's too much complication for what should be a simple product. I Can get past that, though, because honestly that's just a learning curve that I'd get over in a few days.Sadly, with my Torchstar daylight-color LED lights (which I like a lot: LSD4GDL-19W6D50), they whole system buzzes. If you're going for LEDs, do yourself a favor and do it right with a 3-wire (+gnd) ELV switch. Yes, they cost more, but for quiet rooms they work better.
Lacking critical information...
November 26, 2015
Well, my house built in 2007 had analog switches. Had to call the company to install as I replaced only 1 of the 2 switches to the same light. Wiring is different than in the instructions. Called the company twice. First guy was clueless but luckily I had to call back. The second guy was super helpful. Understood the problem right away and was patient while I worked on the other switch to finish. Now that it is done, works great. It would however have been good to know about the analog/digital switches and WHAT IT MEANS prior to trying to change the switches. Would have saved lots of time for me. Information not in instructions either.Having said that, the idea was that the switch would eliminate the faint buzzing noise by using a discrete digital switch to dimmable LED lights but it didn't. Perhaps I need to switch the other "analog" switch as well.
Works well as a single switch on its own leg
November 20, 2015
I have used other electronic dimming switches and they would not last a year before failing mechanically. I replaced them with Lutron switches that have continued to work year after year.I bought these switches to use on one circuit with a mix of CFL and LED par lights and on another circuit with track lighting with line voltage going to individual transformers and halogen lights. The switches work well but the two electronic switches interfere with each other and I cannot have both sets of lights on at the same time.I have installed 3 of these switches and 1 of them was defective and would dim the lights but could not be shut off. Good idea to buy in advance and verify that it is working properly.
Just an Ok dimmer switch! (Updated)
March 17, 2014
I just installed this switch for my chandelier, and it has poor control of the light levels.The lowest I can dim my chandelier is approximately from 100% brightness, to about 70%.If I try to dim my light fixture lower, the LED bulbs will start to flicker, badly!If I try even lower, they all simply go out.Yes, my LED light bulbs are Dimmable. Or at least they're advertized as such. These; PacLights Cand50 Dimmable LED Candelabra Light Bulb.So I'm not sure if it's the light bulbs, or the dimmer switch?Update:This dimmer switch seams to work fine with Philips LED light bulbs.I have one set of Philips light bulbs controlled by another Lutron Dimmer Switch, and they work good!All I can assume now, is this dimmer switch isn't compatible will ALL manufacturers of LED light bulbs. Thats a real shame, because my chandelier was the main reason for getting a dimmer switch.Aside from that problem, I do like the functioning of this switch, and it's very simple to install, and set it, to turn on at a per determined light level. The gradual shut off is also a very nice feature.I'd like to give this switch a higher rating, but I can't, since it wont correctly operate my chandelier.

Lutron dimmers are great dimmers. This model thought has a mechanical flaw
December 10, 2016
Lutron dimmers are great dimmers. This model thought has a mechanical flaw. The lil plastic piece under the outer button, that presses the on/off button on the circuit board is very thin and prone to breakage, I have these dimmers all over my house and have never had the electronics fail however, ALL have had mechanical failures as described. The failures outlast the warranty period so you still end up buying a new dimmer.For this reason I give it only two stars.
Slick Company, Switch is NOT so Slick...
November 20, 2014
My LEDs would not go all the way off. Contacted Lutron, who admitted the switch does not work with all LEDs - but also would not tell me which ones it does work with. After buying several different bulbs, settled with ones that flicker, but at least they go off. They need to perfect the product before selling it...
Not a Good Dimmer Choice
November 12, 2014
I ordered 2 of these programmable dimmer switches with adjustable fade. This switch is supposed to be programmable with a number of functions that can be adjusted, including fade on & fade off. One of the 2 switches fades off just fine, but despite trying to program it multiple times, was unable to get it to fade on. The second switch wouldn't turn off at all. My electrician contacted Lutron & was told how to program it. When he was able to come back, he tried again to reprogram it, but it still wouldn't work & I had to run over to Lowe's to pick up a plain LED/CFL dimmer switch. Unfortunately, too much time had elapsed since I originally purchased the switches & I was unable to return them. I do not recommend these switches that offer programmability - stick with something more manual.
Not sure if this is rated 600w
September 22, 2014
Brought 3 of this dimmer switch, 2 of the them is working ok but one of them is hot to touch after 30 mins if I set to half the dimming level for my bath room fixture.It's rated 600w and my fixture is less than 400w, no sure if it's dangerous or not but I'm going to switch it out this weekend. Not using the dimming seems to work fine. The other 2 with 100w fixtures seems to operating without any overhead issue.
Not for LED lights.
August 9, 2014
This item was purchased for my LED lamps. This will not work properly with LED lights. The light will not turn off but will glow when shut off.
Not LED or CFL Compatible
March 16, 2013
These are really nice dimmers and I love the way they fade the light up and down. Unfortunately, the description fails to tell you that they are NOT compatible with modern CFL and LED light bulbs. These dimmers only work with incandescent bulbs. I installed two and bought LED bulbs before discovering the incompatibility. I bought replacements at the hardware store. Amazon got the "defective" switches back.

very disappointed don't work on led lights cost to much not too work!
Does not work multiple locations
March 9, 2017
Product cannot be used two or 3 way on all switches. Only works as a single dimmer, though advertised as multiple use. It is fine in one location, but if you have two switches in kitchen, you can't put a dimmer on both switches. Dimmer will only work on one switch. You can't put dimmers on the two switches. It also does not work with all LED's. R40 no problem B10 or E12 it does not work as designed. I do believe it may be the bulb not the dimmer. Nevertheless disappointed.
Buzzing
December 18, 2016
Created an audible buzzing which was too loud for us to use it is a bathroom vanity. I tried it with multiple dimmable LED lights. Philips Slimstyle (Lutron approved) and GE Reveal LED lights. All buzzed to various degrees. Had to return it.
Be careful with color match to existing receptacles
June 29, 2016
Light Almond does not match the light almond from the same vendor supplied 10 years ago so if you are looking to retro fit these you should probably consider replacing all units to match.LED slider is cool but difficult to operate for young children.I installed 5 dimmers, 4 work fine, 1 has issues with dimming.
Terrible on/off tab design
June 14, 2016
To turn them completely off, you have to pull a little tab out at the bottom. Otherwise they stay dimly lit constantly. Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong... I can Dim them entire up, and then all the way down to a low dim, but not all the way off without pulling out the tab...
Lights stuck on
September 12, 2015
Installed as pet wiring diagram and using dimmable LED lights. Lights stuck on with 2nd to top LED indicator on switch lit, change intensity randomly. Pushing button repeatedly makes second to bottom indicator LED flash then lights will start working correctly until problem happens again. Maybe they're defective?Easy install.

Dont Use, Use Different Lutron Switch On LEDs
July 5, 2016
I do not write a lot of reviews about products because most of the products that I purchase from amazon work great. But this switch did not work at all. I installed the switch correctly and it just didn't work correctly on my LED light bulbs. The switch was able to turn on correctly, but the big middle switch and the switch on the right would not turn the lights off. There is a little pull out thingy on the button of the switch that I had to pull out in order to get the lights to turn off. That small little bottom pull out thing is very hard to pull out and I would hope that is not the design of the switch (to pull out that thing each time). I wasted $30 on this thing. I tried emailing custom service and they emailed me back right away, stating that I had to email a different department. I emailed the service/technical department and never heard back.Now I was not about to give up so I purchased yet another Lutron product "Lutron Diva 150-Watt 3-Way Single Pole White Indoor Slide Dimmer" from Lowes and that worked GREAT. I would advise people NOT to buy this product as it is junk and Lutron's customer service is also junk. If you have LED lights, use the other Lutron product that gave me success.
Unacceptable
April 24, 2015
This item should have no stars. It was defective. To reach that conclusion I had to have an electrician examine and test it which actually cost more than the item.
might be nice for years gone by
March 22, 2014
but these switches do not work with led or cf lights so why bother? incandescent or halogen are the only thing they work on. threw this is the trash as I'm way over my 30 days to return it. would be nice if they told you this up front. come on this is really basic stuff for online purchasing. information is key and sorely lacking.
Replaced the ones that died after 9 months of use. These work, for how long who knows.

July 14, 2017
I purchased 2 units in May this year. My electrician installed them mid June along with a number of new lights etc. One unit has already stopped working and other unit make audible noise when turned on which indicates it will also stop working soon. Unfortunately I am out of standard 30 days return time period so as i understand I will have to write them off.
Nice features, but it really fails at smoothly dimming a string of dimmable LED bulbs.
June 30, 2017
This digital, programmable dimmer has many nice features. If it had worked well with the Hyperikon LED String lights, I would have been happy to use it. Features like its double-tap for full brightness, and its reprogrammable set points make it seem very desirable. Problem is, it just doesn't work with low wattage, dimmable LED string lights, such as the 2w kind from Hyperikon.
Defective switch + Internal short + Possible Fire Hazard = TRASH
June 27, 2017
My Lutron switch arrived new in the box…and defective. I had an internal short that cause the led to all blink randomly, and the push button to toggle the lights on/off only worked about 20% of the time. Realizing that the internal short was likely a fire risk, I decided to try a separate brand which has had no issues. It’s a shame that there are so many one star reviews of others like myself experiencing internal shorts and it speaks volumes about the low quality control of these Lutron switches. I guess Lutron is permanently off my list of possible electronics suppliers now.My switch is now in the trash where it belongs.
Dimmer cannot Turn-Off 8 LED bulbs by CRLight 6W
March 28, 2017
After programming this dimmer could not turn off the LED lights. Reprogramming repeatedly gave the same results. You have a choice of bright or dim, not off.This dimmer was connected to a chandelier with 8 of these LED lights CRLight 6W Dimmable, for a total of 48 Watts.CRLight 6W Dimmable LED Filament Candle Light Bulb, 3200K Soft White 600LM, E26 Medium Base Chandelier Lamp, C35 Flame Shape Bent Tip, 60W Incandescent Equivalent, 3 Pack
I trusted LUTRON... but any more.
June 29, 2016
Bought 2 and both broke after the first try. Used them on brand new dimmable LED ceiling lights. Turned on ok the first try, but wouldn't turn back on. Rewired but still didn't work. The small LED indicators kept on flickering. Save money and go analog (dimmable switch with a slide).
LED bulbs glow when off -- no neutral wire
January 5, 2016
When you use a dimmer, there are 3 things you want to be able to do:1. Turn the light on to full.2. Dim the light to your desired level.3. Turn the light off.Unfortunately, the latter is not possible with all LED light bulbs with this switch.Here is my understanding why:The dimmer switch is a "smart switch". It requires a small amount of electricity even when the lights are off. Part of it is for allowing the small LEDs in the switch to glow, part of it is for allowing the electronics in the switch to work.The manufacturer decided not to require a neutral wire (white wire). The switch leeches power from the connected light bulbs. When the light is on, this is no problem and not noticeable. When the switch is off, it still runs a small amount of current through the bulbs. Based on the large number of positive reviews, it seems that the current is low enough and most LED bulbs do not glow. Mine do though. And if I keep the switch "off" long enough, they start to flicker.If you want a smart switch, I recommend a dimmer switch with a neutral wire where "off" means "off", i.e. no current goes through the bulbs.(To be fair, if your house wiring does not have a neutral wire, then this dimmer switch is a reasonably option as long as you can find LED bulbs that do not glow / flicker.)Let me propose a theory:The more efficient and the more sophisticated LED bulbs get, the more likely it is that the leeching current of this switch will make LED bulbs glow and flicker when the switch is turned off. Therefore, I fear that more and more people will have this issue in the future.Reason for my 1-star rating:It defeats the purpose of a switch if you cannot turn the lights off completely.The attached picture shows the LED glow with the switch off.
