Dimming notes: Use Lutron Diva (DVELV-303P) or Skylark (SELV-303P) Electronic Low Voltage dimmers for the best performance without need for trim adjustment. Leviton Vizia (VPE06-1) will also work, but we do not sell it. We saw performance of about 4%/20% (measured/perceived) in our tests for those dimmers. This is excellent performance. If you don't have a neutral wire in the dimmer's gang box, or you want to save money on the dimmer, you can also use LED/CFL dimmers Lutron Diva (DVCL-153P) (7%/26%) or Skylark Contour (CTCL-153P) (4%/21%). Be sure you adjust the low-end trim control to remove undesired behavior when using them. Lutron Credenza plug-in lamp dimmer (TTCL-100H) has no low-end trim, and will dim the bulb to around 7%/26%. We do not recommend Magnetic Low Voltage or incandescent dimmers for this bulb.
