Dim the lights, not the mood. The Skylark LED+ dimmer is the slide-style wall dimmer switch that finally makes LED lighting behave the way you expect: a rocker to turn the lights on and off, and a smooth linear slider to set exactly the brightness you want. People search for it as a LED dimmer switch, a slide dimmer, a pot light dimmer or simply a light dimmer for the living room — it is all the same job, done well. Sold under SKU LCDIM-LUSKY-120V, it controls dimmable LED bulbs, recessed pot lights, integrated LED fixtures, dimmable compact fluorescents (CFL), halogen and good old incandescent lamps, so it works just as well in a full LED renovation as in a house where a few older bulbs are still hanging on.

Built for real Canadian homes and small commercial spaces, it runs on 120 V~ 60 Hz and handles up to 150 W of dimmable LED / CFL, or 600 W of incandescent / halogen, or 250 W of Lutron LTEA Hi-lume 1% forward-phase LED driver (6 max.), plus mixed bulb types according to the multigang and mixed-bulb-type ratings table. The LED+ technology and the built-in low-end adjustment let you tune the bottom of the dimming range to your specific bulbs, so you get a deep, steady low level instead of flicker, drop-out or buzz. Power-failure memory and a switch that returns the load to its previous level mean your favourite setting is always waiting for you. It measures 4.69 in (119 mm) x 2.75 in (70 mm), fits a standard designer wallplate opening (wallplate sold separately), includes a mechanical air-gap switch, is 100% factory tested, is ULR Listed to US and Canadian safety requirements UL1472 / CSA C22.2 184.1 and NOM, and carries a 1 Year Limited Warranty.

It belongs in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, basements, hallways, home theatres, restaurant dining rooms, boutiques, clinics and small offices — anywhere you want soft evening light without swapping fixtures. For indoor use only, with operating temperatures 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F), which suits any heated Canadian interior. Need the same look in a darker finish?

A dimmer designed around LED loads
Older dimmers were built for incandescent filaments, which is why they often make modern lamps flicker, buzz or shut off early. This LED+ slide dimmer includes advanced dimming technology developed specifically for today's light sources: dimmable LEDs, dimmable compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) with integrated ballast, Lutron LTEA Hi-lume 1% forward-phase LED drivers, halogen and incandescent. The result is a smoother curve from full output down to a warm, relaxed evening level. Formerly sold as C•L, the control is 100% factory tested, electrostatic discharge tested and colour matched for a clean look next to your other devices.

Controls and low-end adjustment
Three elements do all the work. The rocker switch turns the lights on and off and returns the load to its previous level. The linear slider sets the light level: up increases, down decreases. Behind the wallplate, an adjustment lever or wheel sets the low-end dimming limit — on the lever type, up (clockwise) increases brightness and down (counter-clockwise) decreases it; on the wheel type, up (clockwise) decreases brightness and down (counter-clockwise) increases it. Important: set the slider to the bottom before adjusting the dimming range. Dial the low end just above the point where your bulbs start to flicker or drop out, and you gain a stable minimum you can trust every night. Power-failure memory brings your setting back after an outage.

Installation and multigang wiring
Shut the power off at the panel and have the work done by a qualified electrician where required. Confirm the box is single pole or 3-way before you start: for 3-way and 4-way switching, use Claro switches or other mechanical switches with this dimmer. A wallbox at least 2 in (64 mm) deep gives room for the wire connections. When you install more than one dimmer in the same wallbox, it may be necessary to remove some side sections before wiring, and that reduces the maximum wattage — with no sides removed you may add up to 600 W of incandescent/halogen at 0 W of LED, 500 W with 1 W–25 W of LED/CFL installed, 400 W with 26 W–50 W, 300 W with 51 W–75 W, 200 W with 76 W–100 W, 100 W with 101 W–125 W, and 0 W once you reach 126 W–150 W of LED/CFL. Do not remove the outside sections. The wallplate is sold separately and the unit fits a standard designer wallplate opening.

Compatibility, uses and documentation
When dimming LEDs or CFLs, only bulbs marked or rated as DIMMABLE may be used, and some dimmable LEDs and CFLs require a minimum number of bulbs for proper operation. Keep one technology per circuit whenever you can — mixing sources is the most common cause of buzz and uneven response. Picture it on a bank of kitchen pot lights, over a dining table, in a basement home theatre, in a hotel corridor or a boutique fitting room. Matching options in the catalogue include the black Lutron Skylark LED dimmer 150W, the paddle-style Lutron Diva LED dimmer 150W, the higher-capacity Leviton LED dimmer white 450W for bigger loads, and the wireless Lutron Caseta LED dimmer 150W if you want app or remote control.
