Lutron Toggler LED+ Dimmer Switch for Dimmable LED, Halogen and Incandescent Bulbs, 150 Watt, Single-Pole or 3-Way, TGCL-153PH-IV, Ivory

Update: I actually bought 3 of these switches and now less than 4 years later one of them with very low usage died / stopped working out of nowhere. This switch was in a spare room not used often and died. The other two are used frequently and still working but this was still disappointing. I ended up buying this dimmer switch twice because I like it so much. Easy to install, decent price, and stable dimming (no flickering). You don’t even need to get a new face plate if you are replacing a standard light switch, it is the same size. Easiest dimmer you can possibly install. I first bought this dimmer to replace an existing one at the home I moved into. The existing one had a broken dimmer slider and I wasn’t able to dim the lights properly. Replacement was easy. This dimmer was actually going into a setup where the lights can be turned on/off from three locations. It seemed like this might not work in that scenario based on what I read, but it did work fine for me. Then I recently bought another of these dimmer switches. This was a more straight forward install since it was for a single pole application (only one source to turn on/off the lights), but either way it is super easy to install. In this case, the dimmer has been installed in my office room. This is where I work on the computer for long hours (covid) and where I do some video gaming. My existing four in-ceiling lights only had one brightness setting best described as “meet the sun god” which was too extreme for me most of the time. With the dimmer installed I’m now able to get a very dim (and stable, no flicker) light in the room better suited for my screen use or an even brighter than before “atom bomb” setting if I want to. To get the bulbs as dim as I wanted to, I did have to adjust the dimmer setting before putting the light switch panel back on. This is an easy trial and error of nudging the lever one way or another and checking how it impacts the dimming. In my case I put it all the way to the left (toward “-“) and got pretty good results.

Not all dimmers are created equal. The Lutron Toggler TGCL-153PH LED+ Dimmer Switch for Dimmable LED, Halogen and Incandescent Bulbs, Single-Pole or 3-Way is the most compatible dimmer on the market. I haven't found any dimmable LED bulbs that it wasn't compatible with. It also has another feature that I haven't found on any other dimmer. There is a small dial to the right of the toggle. This is used to adjust the minimum dimming of the lights. To adjust, turn on the lights, push the slider all the way down to minimum dim. Turn the dial to adjust the minimum setting for the dimness of the lights. Once the switch plate is installed, it can't be tampered with. You wouldn't want this adjusted to a point that the lights were completely off, but it should be adjusted to what your minimum preference is, just not off; that's what the toggle switch is for. Also, if you change the bulbs to a different brand, you may need to readjust the minimum dim. Different bulbs are just that, different. The other good thing about this switch is that it can be installed as either a single pole or 3-way switch. The copper colored screw should be used for the line/load wire in a 3-way installation and the 2 brass screws for the traveler wires. For single pole installation, use the copper screw for the line (power in "HOT" wire) and the brass screw on the opposite side of the switch for the load (light). These are the best dimmer switches that you will find for the money. They're an even greater buy in the 3-pack.

I specified the product model number in the title, but I include it here too so that the review doesn't find its way to another product, as I have sometimes found in reviews. So, this is for the Lutron TGCL-153P-WH-2 single pole/3-way dimmers, in a white toggle style switch two-pack. I struggled with the conflicting information in so many reviews that I read which made me concerned about buying one and ending up having flicker when dimming my LED bulbs. My first attempt was a purchase I made at Costco of a different Lutron dimmer, which required a neutral wire to function, but my light switches didn't use a neutral wire so back it went. Searching the reviews long and hard led me to one comment that suggested the 153P family of switches work without flicker. So I took a chance on these. They fit right in with the same simple two-wire hook-up, plus ground, of the old switch, and use the same switch plate cover. So, I took a chance and bought them. To install it I turned off the breaker, removed the old switch, and installed the dimmer. Then I turned on the breaker, crossed my fingers, and turned on the switch. It turned on fine, so I adjusted the brightness, while hoping for flicker-free success. It worked perfectly from lowest brightness to full brightness with zero flicker at all settings! My wife is happy which means I'm happy. Therefore, I can fully recommend these dimmers. And I hope this review saves you the hassle I went through trying to find a dimmer for LED bulbs that works without flicker. Just be certain that you have LED bulbs that are dimmable. I suspect many negative reviews are because their LED bulbs were not dimmable. The other dimmer switches in the 153P family, such as the rocker style switch, should also work perfectly, since the internals are the same. Best of luck and I hope my review helps!

Works great. I installed 2 of them. The only downside is the dim-able adjustment slide on the side of the light switch. When my father turns the lights on/off he accidentally moves the adjustment switch, turning the lights too high or low. I believe he will get the hang of it.

I purchased this switch to replace an old dimmer that was having issues. Very easy install as this one has push in terminals as well as side screws. This makes it easy to adjust to the existing wiring. It fits a standard cover plate, so the appearance is the same as before. Color matches my existing switches exactly. Lutron makes great products so hopefully the durability will be good. It seems well built and properly engineered. The metal plate can be adjusted to fit properly and has removable side clips.

Purchased this switch to replace an older, non-led compatible dimmer switch. Ever since we upgraded our dining room chandelier to LED bulbs we’ve experienced LED flickering due to the old dimmer switch. This is a great quality switch, well constructed, and solid in all aspects. Install was easy as per a standard switch replacement. I like and prefer the design as the dimmer adjustment aspect is a separate little slider and not part of the on/off toggle, in my opinion this is superior to the switches where the toggle acts as both the activator and dimmer.

Works as described

This product was so very easy to install! I did not use the written instructions that came in the package, but watched their short video on how to do it, and it was a piece of cake! You just need to make sure, however, that you have dimmable bulbs. I might have to make other fixtures in my house dimmable as well.

très bon et facile a installer

Works great out of the box. Needed no adjustment of dimming range for a wide range of dimmer capability on the 2 GU10 LED light fixtures that I installed. Both fixtures had 3 LED GU10/50w equivalent dimmable bulbs.

No issues fit in those standard builder fittings. Works perfect. I've become a switch expert.

I have installed 2 out of the 3 switches, one as a single pole and the other as a 3 way. They work well with my LED bulbs which are listed as compatible.

I have used these many times and they work very well.
