You can dim compatible bulbs, although they may not meet the performance you're used to from an incandescent or halogen bulb. They have been electrically tested, they won’t affect the lifetime of our dimmers, and the dimmer may be used up to its full rated CFL/LED load. Compatible bulbs are listed on our Compatible CFL/LED bulb lists (see the links below).
Up to 150W C•L Dimmers Compatible CFL/LED Bulb List

Recommended products (bulbs, fixtures, and LED drivers) meet specified performance requirements, have been electrically tested, and have been jointly reviewed by the manufacturer and Lutron; however, they may not meet the performance you're used to from an incandescent or halogen bulb. You can find detailed performance results (report cards) in the above LED Product Selection Tool

This means the bulb is compatible but does not meet our specific performance criteria to be recommended with a report card.

If your bulb isn’t included on a Lutron online resource, we unfortunately can’t recommend a dimming control to use. We suggest using an LED that’s listed on the above LED Product Selection Tool.

However, if you’re locked into using the LED bulbs you currently have, you might want to contact the LED manufacturer for their dimmer recommendation.

Please note that we test bulbs regularly and update the C·L Compatibility Tool, as well as the LED Product Selection Tool as necessary.

LED testing is a partnership between the LED manufacturer and Lutron. If you would like more information about our testing program, please email LEDS@lutron.com.
