Dimming notes: Use Leviton SureSlide (6674-10W) or Leviton Illumatech (IPL06-10Z) LED/CFL dimmers for great performance, without the need for trim adjustment or a neutral wire. We saw performance at around 3%/18% (measured/perceived) on these dimmers. Lutron Credenza plug-in lamp dimmer (TTCL-100H) has no low-end trim, and will also dim the bulb to around 20%/45%. Amongst the Electronic Low Voltage dimmers Lutron Diva (DVELV-303P) and Lutron Skylark (SELV-303P) performed at 3%/16%. Leviton Vizia (VPE06-1) had similar performance, but we do not sell it. Leviton Sureslide (6613-PL) 4%/20% and Maestro Wireless (MRF2-6ND-120) 6%/24% Magnetic Low Voltage Dimmers are also compatible with this bulb. Lutron Nova T (NTLV-400VA), Leviton Illumatech (IPM06-1), Lutron Radio RA2 (RRD-10ND), WattStopper Paddle (PDMLV-703), WattStopper Slide (SDMLV-603) MLV dimmers, Lutron Radio RA2 (RRD-6NA), and WattStopper Universal (DCD267) Phase Adaptive dimmers are also compatible, but we do not sell them. We do not recommend incandescent dimmers for this bulb.
