Description of Lutron Maestro Dimmers for Magnetic Low Voltage Transformers
Lutron Maestro dimmers are designer light controls with personalized programming options. Preset your desired dimming level, activate a delayed fade-to-off feature that gives you 10-60 seconds to leave the room, or simply adjust the lights manually using an easy-to-operate rocker switch. A "soft glow" LED feature will also enable you to find the dimmer in a dark room. This model controls low voltage xenon or low voltage halogen lighting systems that use magnetic transformers (12 or 24 volts).
