Dimming notes:
Highly recommended: LED/CFL dimmers. Be sure you adjust the low-end trim control to remove undesired behavior when using Lutron Diva (DVCL-153P) or Skylark Contour (CTCL-153P). We saw dimming down to 1%/6% (measured/perceived) or lower in our tests. There is a slight "pop-on" susceptibility under about 7% measured brightness, but this is a very small issue, considering how difficult it is to make a bulb this small dim sweetly down to almost 0%. "Pop-on" means that it will dim nicely on the way down, but after reaching 0, it will not re-light on the way back up until the dimmer is well along its travel, so the light comes suddenly. The pop-on can be eliminated by adjusting the low-end trim control on the dimmer, but we think you'll probably want to adjust the low-end trim for deepest dimming and live with a little pop-on. To totally eliminate pop-on, you can use Lutron Diva (DVELV-303P) or Skylark (SELV-303P) Electronic Low Voltage dimmers, but they are more expensive and require a neutral wire in the gang box. Leviton Vizia (VPE06-1) ELV will also work, but we do not sell it. We saw performance of about 2%/13% (measured/perceived) in our tests for those ELV dimmers. For wireless control dimming, the Lutron Maestro (MRF2-6ELV-120) is surprisingly outstanding at 1%/9%. We do not recommend Magnetic Low Voltage or incandescent dimmers for this bulb.
