Lutron AYCL-153PH-WH ARIADNI CFL/LED DIMMER

En tant qu'électricien, j'ai eu l'occasion d'installer et de tester plusieurs variateurs d'intensité, et le Lutron AYCL-153P-WH Ariadni est un excellent choix pour ceux qui recherchent à contrôler des ampoules LED, CFL, incandescentes ou halogènes. Ce modèle se distingue par sa polyvalence, pouvant fonctionner en mode unipolaire ou 3 voies, avec une capacité allant jusqu'à 150W pour les ampoules LED/CFL et 600W pour les incandescentes. Son installation est simple, même pour les novices, grâce à son design intuitif et son compatibilité avec les systèmes de câblage standards. J'ai particulièrement apprécié la technologie HED intégrée, qui assure une compatibilité optimale avec la plupart des ampoules à haute efficacité, ce qui réduit les risques de scintillement, un problème courant avec certains modèles LED. Le variateur permet un contrôle fluide de l'intensité lumineuse via une glissière linéaire, et l'interrupteur basculant offre un accès rapide à l'allumage et l'extinction. Cependant, comme avec de nombreux variateurs, l'efficacité peut varier en fonction de la marque et du type d'ampoule LED utilisé. Il est donc conseillé de tester différentes ampoules pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats. En résumé, pour les professionnels ou les particuliers cherchant un variateur fiable et simple à installer, le Lutron AYCL-153P-WH est un excellent choix qui allie robustesse et précision dans le contrôle de l'éclairage.

I had recently replaced an old 2-U fluorescent with a Lithonia CPANL 2x2 and found it to be a bit too bright. While this dimmer isn't listed as compatible by either Lutron or Lithonia, other LED+ family dimmers are listed. Pros: - The "scan the QR to get install instructions" is the best I've seen. There is a simple wizard to navigate based on whether its 1-gang or multi-gang and single pole or 3-way. Its short, to the point, and large enough to easily see/understand on a small phone screen. Its better than Ikea assembly pictograms as it has actual .. instructions. - Wide dim range with separate toggle, works with existing/regular switchplates. - Installed in literally 10 minutes in a 3-way single gang. - Dims the CPANL down to almost nothing and can be trimmed all the way down and light still turns on (a couple seconds delay) with no flicker. - No buzzing noises from dimmer or light. Cons: - 150W LED limit is a bit low. However it should work for most retrofit uses because 150W LED replaces 1000-1500W of incandescent. Larger loads in new construction should probably use 0-10V dimming.

The switch was easy to install and feels and looks pretty sturdy. This is the first time I've bought this style of dimmer and I'm happy with how well it works. I especially like the ability to adjust the low end dimming so the lowest setting still allows for a slight glow from my LED dimmable bulbs. There is no flicker at the lowest setting - it functions extremely well. It has been very consistent with the dimming levels each time I turn it on. It's a good switch and worth the price.

Works great on group of LED pot lights. I have one controlling 7 lights and another controlling 9 Can also be used as a dimming 3-way switch.

I've used this in an overhead kitchen fixture, and in a bathroom fixture where I wanted to be able to dim the main lights at night, and it works well. They have added a QR code to watch an install video to make sure you can wire it in. You should have basic electrical skills before doing this; if you do not have such skills, I would strongly recommend you search out some youtube videos on household wiring and installing switches prior to purchasing this. There is also a small blue adjustment range toggle to adjust the "range" of dimming on the main face of the switch. Be sure to use this prior to putting a faceplate back on the switch to see the trigger point where your LED bulbs will activate; some don't come on if the voltage is too low. Also, if dimming LED bulbs, be sure they are "dimmer rated", or you could have negative effects like visible strobing or overheating. If you are unsure if the bulbs are dimmer rated, then perhaps consider getting new ones that you know are, and moving the old bulbs to a fixture that will never use a dimmer.
