Smooth, steady light from full brightness down to a soft glow — that is what a good LED dimmer switch should give you, and this Lutron Skylark LED+ slide dimmer (SKU LCDIM-LUSKYBK-120V) delivers it in black. Also searched as a slide dimmer switch, wall dimmer, gradateur or simply a light dimmer, it pairs an on/off rocker switch with a linear slider so you set your level once and switch the lights on and off without ever losing it. It is made for today's mixed lighting loads: dimmable LED bulbs, recessed pot lights, under-cabinet strips, table lamps, and older halogen or incandescent fixtures you have not replaced yet.

Rated for 120 V~ 60 Hz, it controls up to 150 W of dimmable LED or CFL, or 600 W of incandescent/halogen, or 250 W of Lutron LTEA Hi-lume 1% forward-phase LED driver (6 max.), or a mix of bulb types according to the multigang and mixed-bulb-type ratings table. LED+ technology plus a low-end adjustment lets you tune the bottom of the dimming range to your specific bulbs, so you get a wide, usable range instead of flicker or dead travel. Power-failure memory brings the load back where you left it, a mechanical air-gap switch disconnects load power for service, and the body is 4.69 in (119 mm) x 2.75 in (70 mm) with a 0.30 in (7.6 mm) face projection for a standard designer wallplate opening (wallplate sold separately). It is ULR Listed to US and Canadian safety requirements UL1472 / CSA C22.2 184.1, NOM, 100% factory tested, and backed by a 1 Year Limited Warranty.

At home it belongs in living rooms, primary bedrooms, dining rooms and finished basements; in business, in a boutique, a café dining area, a clinic waiting room or a small office where staff need to soften the lights on demand. It is for indoor use only, with operating temperatures of 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F), and it requires a U.S. wallbox 2 in (64 mm) deep minimum — worth checking before you start, especially in older Canadian homes. Prefer a white finish or a paddle-style control? Compare it with the Lutron Skylark LED dimmer 150W or the Lutron Diva LED dimmer 150W. Order yours and give every room a light level that finally feels right.

Built for real-world LED loads
The Skylark LED+ dimmer is a wallbox control designed around one stubborn problem: LED bulbs and drivers that flicker, buzz or drop out when you push a dimmer too low. LED+ includes advanced dimming technology for dimmable LED, CFL, halogen and incandescent bulbs, and it is ULR Listed to control dimmable LEDs, dimmable compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) with integrated ballast, Lutron LTEA Hi-lume 1% forward-phase LED drivers, halogen and incandescent sources. The face is an on/off rocker switch with a linear slider, sized for a standard designer wallplate opening, and each unit is 100% factory tested. This control was formerly known as C•L.

Light quality and fine tuning
Behind the wallplate you get three controls: the switch turns the lights on and off, the slider sets the light level, and the low-end adjustment (lever type or wheel type) sets the low-end dimming limit. Set the slider to the bottom before adjusting the dimming range, then raise or lower the limit until your bulbs hold a stable, silent low glow. Because the switch returns the load to its previous level and the dimmer has power-failure memory, your chosen brightness survives both a nightly on/off and a power outage. Keep the same lamp model on a circuit whenever you can — mixing several different bulb types on one load is the most common cause of uneven dimming.

Installation, multigang and 3-way
Cut power at the panel, confirm your wiring and check box depth first. When installing more than one dimmer in the same wallbox, some side sections may need to be removed before wiring — never remove the outside sections — and removing them reduces the maximum wattage: with no sides removed you may add up to 600 W of incandescent/halogen at 0 W of LED/CFL, 500 W in the 1 W – 25 W LED band, 400 W from 26 W – 50 W, 300 W from 51 W – 75 W, 200 W from 76 W – 100 W, 100 W from 101 W – 125 W and 0 W from 126 W – 150 W; each step down (1 side, 2 sides removed) drops those figures again. For 3-way and 4-way switching, use Claro switches or other mechanical switches. Only bulbs marked or rated as DIMMABLE may be used, and some dimmable LEDs and CFLs require a minimum number of bulbs to operate properly. Note that the wallplate is sold separately.

Applications, alternatives and documentation
Think of a kitchen island on pot lights, a home theatre in the basement, a dining room chandelier, or a salon that wants bright light for service and low light at closing. Renovating a whole floor? Keep the same control family throughout for a consistent look: the Lutron Skylark LED dimmer 150W covers the lighter finish, while the Lutron Diva LED dimmer 150W in black offers a paddle-and-slider layout. If you want app or remote control instead, look at the Lutron Caséta starter kit or the Pico remote for Caséta wireless dimmers.
