Lutron CTCL-153P-AL Contour Cfl Dimmer

Product Description

The LUTRON CTCL-153P-AL is a Contour-series dimmer designed for use with compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) and LED loads in residential and light commercial lighting circuits. Lutron Contour dimmers are built to provide smooth, flicker-free dimming performance on compatible dimmable CFL and LED bulbs, replacing standard toggle switches in single-pole or 3-way configurations. Licensed electricians install this unit as part of routine lighting upgrades, renovation projects, and energy-efficiency retrofits where occupants require adjustable light levels without sacrificing lamp life or light quality.

The CTCL-153P-AL is suited for residential bedrooms, living areas, hallways, and light commercial spaces such as offices and conference rooms. It fits standard single-gang wallplate openings and is intended for use on branch circuits where dimmable CFL or LED bulbs are already installed or being specified. The AL finish designation indicates an Almond color finish, coordinating with matching Lutron wallplates and devices.
