Review on Lutron Diva Magnetic Low-Voltage Brown Dimmer DVLV-600P-BR by John Caldwell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for Green Creative LED bulbs

My house has several rooms lit by MR-16s controlled by Lutron Maestro MALV-600 dimmers. As the old incandescent MR-16s have burned out, I have been replacing them with Soraa high-CRI LEDs. These worked OK with my old dimmers - I got occasional flicker but they were very usable. I recently switched to Green Creative LED MR16s since their high-CRI bulbs were about 1/2 the price of Soraa. Unfortunately they did not work well with the Maestro dimmers - the lamps would shut off completely when the dimmer was turned up to maximum brightness. I found a document on Green Creative's web site which lists compatibilty between different dimmers, fixtures/transformers, and their bulbs. The Lutron Diva was the only dimmer that was compatible with all their bulbs and tested fixtures/transformers. Due to the lower cost of the GC bulbs, it made sense to replace the dimmer. The Diva works great for me with the GC bulbs.

Pros
  • A+++ item as described fast shipping
Cons
  • Limited compatibility with certain lighting control systems
