Lutron has launched new Maestro dual controls with built-in LED+ advanced dimming dimmer switches and timers designed for professional installers that can control a wide range of LED, incandescent and halogen bulbs.
According to Lutron, the new versions of the Maestro dual control models incorporate patented Lutron LED+ advanced technology for dimming without interaction, flicker or shimmer.
Lutron says the Maestro dual models control two loads independently from a single location. The dimmer/switch model features a dimmer on top to dim and turn one load on/off, and a switch on the bottom for on/off switching of a second light or fan.
The dimmer/timer model features a dimmer on top to dim or turn one load on/off, and the bottom button allows the user to select a preset time limit for a separate light or fan to turn off automatically.
The company says the LED+ dimmers have been tested to ensure compatibility with thousands of bulbs and dozens of brands. Advanced microprocessor technology ensures compatibility with a wide range of bulbs, light stability, low-end adjustment and long-life performance, the company says.
The switches can be installed in 15 minutes without a neutral wire required.
According to Lutron, both models offer MyLevel personalization, allowing users to customize control settings, including establishing a preset light level for desired brightness each time the light is turned on, gradual fade on/off, and the ability to disable the indicator lights.
In addition, the new Maestro dual controls come in a variety of colors with either a Satin or Gloss finish, enabling installers to match controls with existing décor.
The Maestro dual dimmer/switch and dimmer/timer with built-in LED+ technology are available now at electrical distributors and A/V and security channels, and at select home improvement retailers.
“Lutron remains committed to providing the best LED dimming experience to our customers,” says Zachary Schroeck, director of product management, Wallbox Business at Lutron. “Building LED+ technology into our popular Maestro dual controls means installers can be confident their clients will enjoy effortless and versatile control of LED, incandescent, or halogen bulbs on projects that require space-saving, multi-control dimming solutions.”
