Works with Dimmable CFLs and LEDs for Increased Energy Savings
The Lutron dimmer works with dimmable CFLs and LEDs up to 150 watts, a great energy-efficient alternative that can last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs. Plus, by using less electricity, theses bulbs help protect the environment by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide released into the air.
HED Technology for Enhanced Performance
Thanks to Lutron's HED technology, this dimmer actually improves the performance of dimmable CFLs and LEDs compared to standard dimmers by eliminating flicker, ensuring lights stay on when they are dimmed to a low level, and making sure lights operate properly at all levels. Lights will stay on even during voltage fluctuations, which can happen when a device like an air conditioner or a hair dryer is operated nearby. For safety, the dimmer is UL listed for a broad range of dimmable CFL and LED bulbs.
Compatible with Other Lightbulbs and Mixed Loads
For added functionality, the dimmer also provides full-range dimming for halogen and incandescent bulbs. There is an adjustment dial to set the low end of dimming range for your bulb type for most efficient operation.
The dimmer also works with a mixed load of light sources, so a combination of CFL, LED, halogen, and incandescent bulbs can be used on the same circuit. It can be used for single-pole and three-way applications.
Fast and Easy Installation
Installation is easy--just replace your existing light switch with the Lutron Diva C•L Dimmer and install in less that 15 minutes. A modern wallplate--with no visible screws--blends into the surrounding wall for a subtle finishing touch.
The Lutron Diva C•L Dimmer is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

From the Manufacturer
Control the next generation of lighting with Lutron's dimmable C.L dimmers! Screw-in dimmable compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and screw-in dimmable light emitting diode lamps (LEDs) are a great energy-saving alternative to incandescent or halogen light sources; however, dimming them may be difficult. Lutron's new dimmers with HED Technology provides a solution to alleviate your dimmable CFL and LED dimming challenges, while setting the right light level to improve mood and ambiance. The Diva dimmable CFL/LED dimmer with HED Technology features advanced dimming circuitry that is designed for compatibility with most high efficacy light bulbs. With the same features as Lutron's Diva dimmer, the large paddle switch turns the light on/off and returns to your favorite setting. The discreet slider adjusts the light level to suit any activity. These dimmers improve the dimming performance of dimmable CFLs and LEDs compared to standard dimmers. Lutron dimmers with HED Technology also provide full-range dimming for halogen and incandescent bulbs, ensuring today's dimmer is compatible with tomorrow's light sources. The dimmer can even dim a mixed load of light sources (i.e. LED and halogen or CFL and LED bulbs on the same circuit).

Frustrated with Compact Flourescent Lights that were labeled "dimmable" but wouldn't dim, I replaced my old dimmer switches with these. (When removing the old ones I noticed those were stamped on the metal plate that they were for incandescents only -- hmm, maybe that's why they didn't work with CFLs?)
Voila! the dimmable CFLs now dim! They don't buzz and they don't blink.
Pros: Installation instructions are clear -- including how to calibrate for the particular brand of CFLs you are using. The wiring is standard, the calibration was new to me, but simple and straightforward. I figure by using the CFLs the whole set up will pay for itself in 3 or 4 years. The bulbs I'm using are supposed to last for seven years, and by then maybe we'll be using LEDs - which these switches are designed to handle also.
Cons: Pricey compared to switches for incandescent dimming. I don't know if they work with all CFLs labeled dimmable -- Luton provides a list of a few approved LEDs and CFLs in the package and more on their website. I used one of those.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought three of these dimmers w/ high hopes that I could eliminate buzzing in two rooms w/ several can lights using dimmable CFLs, and another room w/ two dimmable LEDs. It's hard to be sure, but I think the buzzing is quieter, although it is still clearly present. It seems like buzzing, in CFLs at least, depends more on the individual lights than on the dimmer one uses. In one room, I have six of the aforementioned can lights, and I noticed that three out of the six installed CFLs (all the same model) buzz very little, and three buzz like hives of angry bees, even w/ this dimmer. I even tried changing which fixture they were in to see if there was a difference (there was not). On the other hand I have a fixture w/ two dimmable CFLs and a conventional dimmer, and they don't buzz at all. The dimmable LEDs didn't buzz that much to begin with, and I think the buzz from them is less noticeable w/ this dimmer, but I couldn't swear to it.
Another annoying thing about dimmable CFLs w/ conventional dimmers is the uneven drop-out of lights near the bottom of the dimming range. This dimmer has an adjustment dial which is supposed to help eliminate this effect, but basically it seems to just allow you to raise the bottom of the range such that the light that drops out first governs the dimming range, in other words the dimming range is governed by the "least-dimmable" light.
All in all, I can't say this dimmer doesn't help to reduce the undesirable characteristics of dimmable CFLs and LEDs, but given the cost, I'm not sure I would make the purchase again.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
In our quest to be eco-efficient around the house we have undertaken a major project to replace all our lighting with CFL's and LED bulbs where appropriate, and to introduce dimmer switches on most all of our lighting (especially hallways, common areas, kitchen, etc.) In fact, with the exception of our bathrooms and laundry room, there isn't much left that doesn't have a dimmer switch on it.
The problem has always been, though CFL's and LED lighting do not play nicely with standard dimmers. Even dimmers that say they were designed for use with LED and CFL lighting often produced a horrid "buzzing" noise or the light was "sorta dim" at best. Realzing that we may have to settle for "sorta works", I was on a mission to find something else -- and the Lutron product really delivered!
No more buzzing was the first thing I noticed. We hooked this up to our bedroom lighting and we were amazed at the difference it made from the dimmer it replaced. We never knew our LED lighting go get this dim! We never enjoyed watching TV in the bedroom in such PEACE AND QUIET!
Our only complaints are that the dimmer slide switch is a bit "small" to get too -- especially if you have big hands. I also do not like the way you have to wire-nut in the wires. Modern switches come with snap-in slots for wiring, but Lutron has chosen to stick with the wire-nut approach. While it works, its just a pain in the rear to do for some wiring and I feel it also is a bit more dangerous -- especially if you don't get the exposed wiring completely secured with the wire-nut.
Other than that, if you have LED or CFL lighting then this dimmer is the one you have to use -- you WILL notice a difference the moment you get it installed. Your bulbs and your electric bill with thank you.
