250W C•L® dimmers can also be paired with UL Listed Hi-lume® A-Series LTE LED
drivers for smooth, continuous 1% dimmingCoopersburg, PA
(May 16, 2014) –
Lutron Electronics, the leader in
energy-saving, wireless light and shade control, today announced the addition of
new
250W
C•L dimmers to its popular C•L dimmer collection. C•L dimmers are designed
and UL listed for controlling a broad range of light-emitting diode (LED) and
compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs. The higher wattage 250W C•L dimmer is also
ideal for installations that incorporate a series of strip lights, downlights or
linear cove lights.
With the introduction of the
250W
C•L dimmer, Lutron now offers a non-neutral, 2-wire, forward phase wallbox
solution that can guarantee a high quality dimming experience. When paired with
the UL listed Hi-lume A-Series LTE LED driver, the 250W C•L dimmer delivers 1%
dimming of LED fixtures, and with the non-neutral feature it allows for the
dimmer to be used in any wallbox installation without pulling extra
wires.
By installing a Lutron C•L dimmer, customers can reliably control
the widest range of dimmable light sources available today. “Our collection of
C•L dimmers alleviates the challenges of dimming energy efficient light bulbs
such as LEDs and CFLs,” said Deepa Felix, Product Manager – Commercial Wallbox
at Lutron. “The 250W C•L dimmer expands control options, offers a large dimming
range, minimizes flicker, drop-out and pop-on, and is another solution that
helps take the guesswork out of pairing lighting controls with LED light
sources.”
All dimmers in the C•L collection use advanced patented
dimming circuitry, and can control a mixed load of light sources – including
LED, CFL, incandescent and halogen bulbs – on the same circuit. New LED bulbs
are constantly being introduced to the marketplace, and Lutron’s “Center of
Excellence” tests hundreds of dimmer/bulb combinations to ensure compatibility –
the entire, updated
Compatible Bulb
List is available online. To ensure compatibility between controls, drivers,
and fixtures, Lutron also offers the online
LED
Product Selection Tool.
Available in Diva® and Ariadni® styles, and
in a wide range of colors and finishes, the 250W C•L dimmer is versatile enough
for use in both residential and commercial spaces. Typical applications include
kitchens, dining rooms, and private offices, as well as ballrooms, hotel
lobbies, and restaurants.
The 250W C.L dimmer will be available in May
2014. Suggested list price is between $51 and $71.
