Description
Lutron Diva DVCL-153P-WH dimmer switch for CFL, LED, Halogen, and Incandescent Dimmable Bulbs. White (WH) Gloss Finish, Single pole / 3-way. Wall plate not included.
Lutron Diva C•L 150W Single-Pole / 3-Way LED+ Preset Dimmer (DVCL-153P-WH)
The Lutron Diva DVCL-153P-WH is an industry-standard decorator-style wall dimmer engineered with Lutron's patented C•L (LED+) advanced dimming circuitry. Designed to eliminate flicker, shimmer, and drop-out across dimmable screw-in LED, CFL, halogen, and incandescent bulbs, this dimmer pairs a paddle rocker switch for on/off preset control with a discrete captive linear slider for fluid light-level tuning in both single-pole and 3-way lighting configurations without requiring a neutral wire.
Key Features & Performance Benefits
- C•L (LED+) Dimming Technology: Optimized phase-control dimming architecture engineered to prevent erratic behavior, bulb hum, ghosting, and visible flutter often caused by line-voltage solid-state drivers.
- Low-End Trim Adjustment Wheel: Features an accessible integrated dial/lever behind the wallplate to optimize the low-end dimming threshold, maximizing the dimming range while stopping premature bulb drop-out.
- Preset Switch & Slider Control: Large paddle rocker turns lights on/off returning to the user-favorite preset light level, while the sleek linear slider adjusts brightness from soft ambient to 100%.
- Versatile Wiring Topology: Functions in standalone single-pole applications or paired with a standard mechanical 3-way switch to control lights from two separate wall locations.
- Zero Neutral Required: Requires only hot, switch-leg, and ground wires, making it ideal for older electrical junctions and retrofit applications lacking dedicated neutrals.
- RFI Suppression: Built-in radio frequency interference filter prevents audio, radio, and communications interference across household circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "DVCL-153P-WH" stand for in Lutron's catalog?
"DV" specifies the Diva decorator body style, "CL" designates C•L (LED+) dimming technology, "15" represents 150W LED/CFL load capacity, "3" indicates 3-way or single-pole capability, "P" stands for preset rocker on/off, and "WH" designates the gloss white finish.
How is the low-end dimming adjustment set?
The front face of the dimmer features a small adjustment lever or dial (accessible with the wallplate removed). Lower the main slider to the bottom, then rotate the adjustment dial upward until the connected bulbs achieve stable, flicker-free low light without dropping out.
Does this dimmer require a special companion switch in a 3-way circuit?
No. In a 3-way configuration, the DVCL-153P-WH wires directly to an ordinary, mechanical 3-way wall switch on the opposite end of the circuit. No proprietary accessory switch or digital companion is required.
