Construction & Interface
A large tapswitch provides on/off control; the rocker adjusts brightness. Indoor use at 32–104°F. Wallplate sold separately.
Dimming & Load Performance
Use compatible dimmable lamps. LED/CFL-only loads require no derating; mixed lamp loads must follow the manufacturer’s rating table. Do not apply the 600W incandescent rating to LEDs.
Wiring & Installation
No neutral is required. MA-R companions support multi-location dimming. A mechanical 3-way switch requires additional wiring and programming; mechanical 4-way applications are not supported. Follow the manufacturer’s diagram and ganging procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this dimmer require a neutral wire?
Does this dimmer require a neutral wire?
No, a neutral wire is not required. The dimmer operates at 120V AC, 60Hz.
What lighting loads can it control?
What lighting loads can it control?
It controls 150W dimmable LED/CFL or 600W incandescent/halogen before applicable derating. The specification also lists 250W of Lutron LTEA Hi-lume 1% forward-phase LED drivers, maximum six drivers; this is not a general 250W LED rating.
Can I use two main dimmers on one lighting circuit?
Can I use two main dimmers on one lighting circuit?
No, use one MACL-153M with compatible Maestro companion dimmers at the other control locations. For multi-location dimming, MA-R companions are supported.
Can it work with an existing mechanical 3-way switch?
Can it work with an existing mechanical 3-way switch?
Yes, but additional wiring and programming are required. Mechanical 4-way switch applications are not supported; use the specified Maestro companion configuration instead.
Does ganging change its load capacity?
Does ganging change its load capacity?
Yes, incandescent/halogen capacity is 600W with no side sections removed, 500W with one removed, and 400W with two removed. LED/CFL-only loads do not require derating; mixed loads must follow the manufacturer’s table.
