Lutron MLV Dimmers (Magnetic Low Voltage)

As Canada’s authorized master distributor for Lutron, Simply Controlled provides the heavy-duty control required for complex lighting loads.

Why Pros Specify MLV Dimmers

  • Protect Your Hardware: Standard dimmers can overheat or fail when paired with magnetic transformers. Lutron MLV dimmers (available in Maestro, Diva, RadioRA 2, and RA3) feature robust internal circuitry designed to absorb inductive spikes, ensuring longevity for both the dimmer and the transformer.
  • DC Offset Protection: Prevent the dreaded "transformer overheating" issue. Lutron’s symmetric firing circuit eliminates DC current components that cause magnetic core saturation, ensuring safe, cool operation.
  • System Compatibility: Whether it’s a RadioRA 3 Sunnata keypad or a Caséta PRO dimmer, we stock the specific SKUs needed to bridge modern control with legacy magnetic loads.
