The SureSlideВ®В model is available in white, ivory and light almond. What colors do the Universal Dimmers come in? The Universal Dimmer is designed to interact with the electronic circuitry, providing smooth low level dimming on many bulbs offered by the major manufacturers. Therefore, it can be difficult to achieve the same smooth start and complete dimming range as one sees with incandescent bulbs. What makes dimming a dimmable LED/CFL bulb different than dimming an incandescent bulb?Дimmable LED/CFL bulbs contain electronic circuitry not present in incandescent bulbs. No, the Universal Dimmers are two wire devices that can replace any standard electrical switch. Is a neutral wire required with the Leviton Universal Dimmers? In addition, Electronic Low Voltage dimmers are typically a more expensive solution. These dimmers do require connection to a neutral wire, which is often not available in older construction. Before using an ELV dimmer with LED/CFL bulbs, ensure the dimmer indicates that it is listed for use with these bulb types. Can I use an Electronic Low Voltage dimmer on dimmable LED/CFL bulbs?Д®lectronic Low Voltage (ELV) dimmers incorporate reverse-phase dimming control, which tends to provide enhanced performance with dimmable LED bulbs. We cannot recommend the use of an incandescent dimmer with dimmable LED/CFL bulbs.

Agency listings associated with Universal LED/CFL dimmers have specific test requirements to safely control and operate dimmable LED and CFL bulbs.

Below is an example of the energy savings* realized when you dim incandescent, dimmable LED or dimmable CFL bulbs.Д¬an I use an incandescent-ONLY dimmer on dimmable LED/CFL bulbs? Yes, dimming any bulb reduces energy consumption. Will I save energy if I dim LED and CFL bulbs? The packaging on the bulb should identify it as dimmable. Leviton recommends only LED and CFL bulbs that are labeled as DIMMABLE be used with the Universal Dimmer. Some universal dimmers are also designed for Magnetic Low Voltage (MLV) and Electronic Low Voltage (ELV) loads. Universal dimmers are designed to work with dimmable LED, dimmable CFL, incandescent and halogen bulbs. What types of bulbs can be used with the Universal Dimmers? For quality assurance the Universal Dimmers have been evaluated and listed specifically for use with dimmable LED and dimmable CFL loads in addition to incandescent. Even if you are currently using incandescent bulbs, you can future proof by installing the Universal Dimmer to ensure compatibility in the future with dimmable LED/CFL bulbs. It is designed to provide optimal performance when used with dimmable LED or dimmable CFL bulbs. The benefits of using this dimmer include smooth operation for precise dimming, low level starting and flicker-free operation when used with incandescent and compatible dimmable LED/CFL bulbs.
