Lutron’s New LED+ Pro Max Dimmers Are a Game Changer
At Hidden Technology Inc., we believe that perfect lighting is the foundation of any truly great smart home. Whether you are setting the mood for a dinner party, highlighting architectural details with track lighting, or illuminating your kitchen cabinets with under-cabinet tape lights, the way your lights dim makes all the difference.
But as lighting technology has advanced, residential lighting has become incredibly complex. That’s why we are thrilled to introduce our clients to the newest standard in lighting control: Lutron’s LED+ Pro Max Dimmers.
Here is a look at why this new lineup is completely changing the game for smart home installations, and why we are utilizing it to ensure flawless lighting in your home.
Lutron LED+ ProMax Dimmers
The Problem with Modern Lighting
In the past, almost all residential lighting was standard incandescent or halogen. Today, a single high-end home might feature a mix of standard LED downlights, Electronic Low Voltage (ELV) tape lighting under cabinets, and Magnetic Low Voltage (MLV) track fixtures.
While LEDs are incredibly energy-efficient, getting them to dim smoothly without flickering, buzzing, or humming can be a major challenge if the dimmer isn't perfectly matched to the specific type of lighting load. In the past, this meant ordering highly specific, separate dimmers for every different type of fixture in the house.
Enter the LED+ Pro Max
Lutron has always been the gold standard for lighting control, but the new LED+ Pro Max lineup takes reliability to a completely new level. It is designed to handle the growing variety of lighting loads found in today’s modern homes without breaking a sweat.
Here is what makes the LED+ Pro Max the ultimate solution:
Four Load Types, One Dimmer: The LED+ Pro Max supports standard LEDs, ELV, MLV, and Incandescent/Halogen loads all in one single device. Whether we are controlling your outdoor string lights or your indoor LED tape lights, this dimmer handles it seamlessly.
Phase-Selectable Dimming: This is the secret weapon against flickering and buzzing. The LED+ Pro Max allows us to switch between forward and reverse phase dimming during installation. If a specific LED fixture starts to hum, we can simply adjust the phase selection to instantly resolve compatibility issues.
High Power Capacity: Standard dimmers often max out quickly when controlling multiple high-hats or long runs of tape lighting. The Pro Max line boasts incredible power ratings, handling up to 250W of dimmable LEDs, 500W of ELV/Incandescent, or 400VA of MLV.
A Style for Every Space
Advanced technology shouldn't mean sacrificing aesthetics. The LED+ Pro Max technology is available across Lutron's most popular design families, ensuring visual continuity throughout your home.
The Sunnata Touch Dimmer: For the ultimate modern aesthetic, the Sunnata features a sleek, intuitive touch light bar. You simply swipe your finger up or down to adjust the brightness with precision. It also includes "MyLevel" personalization to adjust the brightness of the light bar itself, which acts as a soft-glow locator in the dark.
The Diva Dimmer: The classic, highly popular paddle switch with a smooth slider, now featuring a soft-glow locator light that aligns perfectly with existing paddle switches in your home.
The Maestro Dimmer: A sophisticated tap switch that turns lights on to a preset level, alongside a precise rocker for dimming. It also supports multi-location control (up to 10 locations!), making it perfect for long hallways or large open-concept spaces.
