Maestro LED+ Dual Dimmer and Switch - Space-Saving Dual Control

In this review of the Maestro LED+ dual dimmer and switch, the bottom line is simple: it is for homeowners or installers who want to control two loads from a single gang without sacrificing modern dimming features. The stacked design combines a top dimmer and a bottom on/off switch so one device handles both a dimmable light and a second light or fan. The single biggest reason to buy is that it delivers reliable dimming for LED bulbs plus conventional switching for a second circuit, saving wall space and avoiding an extra cutout.

Key Features

• Stacked 2-in-1 design: Combines a dimmer and a switch in one unit so two loads are controlled from a single location, conserving wall space and reducing additional wiring work.
• Tap-for-preset: A single tap on the top dimmer returns lights to a favorite preset level, making it easy to restore a preferred ambiance without adjusting the slider.
• Double-tap full on: Tapping the dimmer twice sends the dimmer to full brightness instantly, useful for task lighting or when maximum light is needed quickly.
• Fade-to-off delay: Press and hold the dimmer for a delayed fade-to-off so occupants have extra time to leave a room before lights go out.
• LED and incandescent compatibility: Dimming load supports up to 75 W of LED bulbs or 300 W of incandescent/halogen, providing flexibility with common bulb types.
• Fan and universal switching: Bottom on/off switch works with all bulb types or with fans up to 2.5 A, so the unit can control mixed loads in a single gang.

Who It's For

The Maestro LED+ is ideal for homeowners renovating kitchens, islands, or small rooms where saving wall space matters and there is a need to control a dimmable light and a secondary light or fan from one location. Electricians and DIYers will appreciate that it works in standard single-pole applications and replaces two devices in one gang.

This is not the best choice for multi-location circuits that require 3-way or 4-way control, or for installations needing dimming of high-wattage LED arrays beyond the 75 W LED limit. For setups that require a coordinating wallplate or a specific aesthetic finish, confirm compatibility before purchase since the Claro wallplate is not included.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Space-saving stacked design replaces two devices and avoids cutting extra openings in the wall.
• Easy-to-use tap and double-tap controls provide fast access to a favorite preset and full on.
• Works with common bulb types and also handles fan switching up to 2.5 A, increasing installation flexibility.
• Customers report straightforward installation and a quality appearance that fits kitchen islands and living spaces.

Cons

• Limited to single-pole installations, so it will not work where multi-location control is required.
• Dimming LED load is limited to 75 W, which may be restrictive for larger LED arrays without grouping circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this unit be used in a 3-way circuit?
No. The Maestro LED+ dual dimmer and switch is rated for single-pole applications only and will not replace a multi-location 3-way control.

What is the maximum LED load for dimming?
The dimming load supports up to 75 W of LED bulbs; larger LED loads will require splitting circuits or a different dimmer with higher LED capacity.

Is a wallplate included?
No. The unit includes the dual control only; a coordinating Claro wallplate is not included and should be purchased separately if desired.
