Multigang and Mixed-Bulb-Type Ratings
When installing more than one dimmer in the same wallbox, it may be necessary to remove some side sections
prior to wiring (see diagram). Removal of dimmer side sections may reduce maximum wattage, as shown in
the chart below.
Mixing bulb types (using a combination of LED / CFL and Incandescent / Halogen bulbs) will also affect the
maximum ratings, as shown in the chart below.
Each dimmer has inside
sections removed
Middle dimmer has both side
sections removed
Do not remove outside
sections

*EXAMPLE: If one set of side sections is removed and you have two 20 W LED bulbs installed
(Total LED Wattage = 40 W), you may add up to 300W of incandescent or halogen
lighting.
Note: For recommended ELV transformers and compatible MR16 LED bulbs, please see Lutron Application Note #559
at www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/048559.pdf. Always follow the transformer and bulb manufacturer
