Compatible Dimmer/Bulb
Given the wide variety of dimmers and bulbs available on the market, selecting the appropriate dimmer and bulb combination can be challenging. The most popular bulbs right now are LEDs. Finding the optimal dimmer and LED bulb combinations to prevent potential problems like light flickering, a limited dimming range, a slow start-up, or inconsistent illumination is simple with our LED Compatibility Selector Tool (leviton.com/led). Regarding the most prevalent dimmer kinds available on the market, the chart below offers some useful advice. You will gain a better understanding of the kinds of bulbs to utilize with them for your application’s optimal dimming results.
| Dimmer Type | Helpful Hints |
|---|
LED
(Light Emitting Diode)
| Works with dimmable LED bulbs. Some models may also be compatible with incandescent, dimmable CFL, and magnetic low-voltage bulbs.
Provides full-range dimming, smooth start-up, and eliminates flickering of lights.
| Be sure the bulb package indicates DIMMABLE.
Most bulb and dimmer manufacturers have compatibility information listed on their websites to help guide you to finding the perfect pairing.

Incandescent/Halogen| Works with incandescent and halogen bulbs.| These
types of dimmers are not designed to control LED and CFL bulbs and using them
to do so may result in inconsistent or limited performance. Many incandescent
dimmers do not have LED ratings and therefore cannot be used with LED bulbs.
CFL
(Compact Fluorescent Lamp)
| Works with dimmable CFL bulbs. Some models may also be compatible with incandescent, dimmable LED, and magnetic low-voltage bulbs.
Provides full-range dimming, smooth start-up, and eliminates flickering of lights.
| Be sure the bulb package indicates DIMMABLE.
ELV
(Electronic Low Voltage)
| Works with electronic low-voltage transformers used in low-voltage fixtures and dimmable LED power supplies such as those found in ELV track lighting, under cabinet lighting, and LED strips.| ELV Dimmers require a neutral wire for installation and perform well when paired
with LED bulbs. Also referred to as trailing-edge and reverse-phase dimmers.
MLV
(Magnetic Low Voltage)
| Works with magnetic low voltage transformers used in low voltage lighting
fixtures and are suitable for recessed lights that are magnetic low voltage.
Often found in under cabinet lighting and recessed lights.| Magnetic low
voltage transformers tend to be larger and heavier than electronic low
voltage.
0-10V| The LED dimming protocol is used when the control signal is a DC
voltage that varies between zero and ten volts. Common in controlling
fluorescent dimming ballasts and some drivers for LED lighting. Used in indoor and outdoor lighting in high-end residential and commercial spaces.
| Often dimming ballasts and dimming LED power supplies use 0-10V control
signals to control the dimming functions. In order to choose the proper
control, be sure to know the maximum “sinking” current needed to control the
ballast. Use the “sinking” capability of the dimmer and divide by the source
current of each ballast to determine the maximum number of ballasts that can
be controlled by that device.
Fluorescent| Works with fluorescent fixtures that incorporate rapid-
start fluorescent bulbs and dimming ballasts.|
Wiring Options
All dimmers are designed for either single pole, 3-way, or multi-location applications. Some models are single-pole and 3-way capable. Be sure to reference the packaging to choose the proper dimmer based on the application.
Single Pole
Controls light(s) from one location.
3-Way
Controls light(s) from two locations. Usually, in a 3-way application, the dimmer is at one location from which the user can switch the light(s) ON/OFF and adjust the brightness level. The second location is generally a 3-way switch that only allows the user to switch the light(s) ON/OFF.
Multi-Location
Controls lights from three or more locations. Designed for larger areas or rooms, the dimmer is at one location and the companion dimmers are in other locations. The user can switch the lights ON/OFF and adjust the brightness level from all locations.

FAQs
Where can I find the user guide?****
You can download the user guide from the link provided in the image section or go to Leviton TBL03-10E Tabletop Slide Control Lamp Dimmer User Guide.
Is this dimmer compatible with LED bulbs?****
Yes, it is compatible with LED bulbs.
Can I use this dimmer with CFL bulbs?****
Yes, you can use it with CFL bulbs.
Can I use this dimmer with incandescent bulbs?****
Yes, you can use it with incandescent bulbs.
Can I use this dimmer with halogen bulbs?****
Yes, you can use it with halogen bulbs.
What are the advantages of a light dimmer circuit?****
Dimmer switches have a number of benefits, one of which is the ability to manage the electrical flow between various house lighting sources. You can save up to 98 percent of your electricity by dimming just one light bulb. You will also see a significant decrease in your electricity bill.
Can you put a dimmer on any lamp?****
Standard dimmer switches will operate with the majority of light fixtures, including those using halogen and incandescent lamps. Find out if your fixture uses line electricity or low voltage. Dimmer switches can be used to adjust the brightness of incandescent track and rail lights that are installed using line voltage.
How does a lamp dimmer work?****
The AC voltage is essentially chopped up in order for a light switch to operate. This limits the amount of waveform that can reach the lamp. The amount of power applied to the lamp determines how bright it will be, so the more the waveform is chopped, the dimmer the lamp will be.
Can you put a dimmer on a table lamp?****
Add a cheap dimmer switch socket to any table lamp or floor lamp to increase the coziness in any space – no electrical experience necessary! Any space in your house may feel differently with the correct kind of lighting.
Do dimmers reduce power consumption?****
Modern light dimmers not only help you conserve energy, but also make your light bulbs last longer! A “Triac Switch” is used by dimmers to quickly turn a light circuit on and off in order to lower the amount of energy going to a light bulb. The electricity flowing to the fixture will be cut up to 120 times in a second by this switch.
Do dimmers need special wiring?****
A green grounding source, if one is available, must be connected to new dimmers’ green grounding wires or green ground screws. You’ll connect the bare copper ground wires from a house with a plastic-sheathed cable to the toggle dimmer switch.
Are dimmer switches easy to install?****
One of the simplest DIY electrical tasks is changing a standard switch for a dimmer switch. Most of the time, neither permission nor an inspection is necessary, but it is still crucial to exercise caution if working near electricity.
