Lower Utility Bills

A Lutron Dimmer works by turning an incandescent or halogen bulb on and off at a rate that’s too fast for our eyes to see. Dim a light to 25% and you’ll cut the electricity it uses by about 20%. When you consider that lighting accounts for nearly 20% of the average home’s electricity bill, dimming can have a huge impact. So taking 15 minutes to replace an on/off wall switch with a Lutron Dimmer can save you plenty in every room.

Longer Bulb Life

When you dim an incandescent or halogen bulb, it operates at a cooler temperature. A cooler bulb is a longer lasting bulb, sometimes dramatically so. Dim an incandescent bulb 25%, and it will last 4 times longer; dim one 50%, and it will last 20 times longer!

A Greener Planet

Lutron Dimmers help you save energy every time you use your lights. Every watt of electricity you save potentially reduces the amount of fossil fuel used to generate power. In fact, if every household in the U.S. installed one Lutron dimmer, we would reduce CO2 emissions equivalent to 370,000 cars. And since dimmed bulbs also last up to 10 years, you’ll also be doing your part to reduce landfill waste.

* Actual savings may vary depending on use and application. Stated savings based on dimming (4) 75 W incandescent reflector lamps (rated at 1500 hrs. each, costing $1.75 per lamp) by 50% (perceived light level corresponding to 40% reduction in power level) for 5 hrs. per day with electricity cost of $0.104/kWh.
