LED+ Dimmer Switch Biscuit - Smooth Flicker-Free Dimming

In this review of the LED+ Dimmer Switch Biscuit, the bottom line is simple: this is a dependable in-wall dimmer for homeowners who want smooth, flicker-free control of LED, CFL, halogen and incandescent lighting. The reviewer found its biggest strength to be consistent dimming across a wide range of bulbs, enabled by Lutron's patented optimization, making it an excellent pick for kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms where a precise light level matters.

Key Features

• Tested compatibility: The dimmer has been tested on thousands of bulbs and dozens of brands to reduce flicker with many common LED and CFL lamps.
• Wide dim range: Provides over 150 lighting levels so users can dial in the right amount of light for tasks, relaxing or entertaining.
• Multi-load capability: Works with up to 150 W of dimmable LED/CFL or 600 W of incandescent and halogen, allowing mixed load circuits in many home setups.
• Multi-location use: Can be used in single-pole or 3-way multi-location installations (up to 10 locations with a companion control), useful for stairways and long rooms.
• Easy operation and programming: Tap to favorite level, rocker to dim, plus advanced settings such as delayed fade-to-off for convenience.
• No neutral required: Installs in about 15 minutes in most homes without a neutral wire, simplifying retrofit upgrades.

Who It's For

This dimmer is ideal for homeowners and renovators who want better dimming performance with modern LED and CFL bulbs and who value a compact, well-designed wall control. It suits rooms where precise, flicker-free dimming and a reliable preset favorite level are important, such as living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens.

It is less appropriate for someone who needs a neutral-required device or who wants integrated smart-home networking built into the switch; those users should look for a model with hub connectivity or a neutral connection if their wiring requires it.
