    DVELV-300PH dimmer to stop bulb strobing?

    I have a fixture with 15, 3.8 W LED's from Phillips (UPC # 06667755035) and a Lutron # DVCL-153-WH Dimmer. The bulbs are "guaranteed" not to flicker, and they don't. However, with the dimmer all the way up, all the bulbs strobe rapidly and in unison. This does not occur when the switch is dimmed a bit. I spoke to one of our electricians and he recommended an ELV dimmer. He said that's all they use in their high end installations. Can anyone comment on this? Is the Lutron DVELV-300PH a good choice? Sure it's twice the price, but I need the issue to stop. Thanks Al

    Have you used the adjustment dial on the DVCL-153P in the upper range where you are having the issue? Here is the install guide @ https://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocu...ry/0301882.pdf. If you have done this already and no change, we would recommend a digital dimmer that has high end trim adjustment like the MACL-153M. Here is it's install guide @ https://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocu...y/0301629b.pdf Typically when using a neutral based dimmer such as the DVELV-300P or the DVRP-253P it is more for issues of ghosting, or slight flickering, not the issue you are having. If you have any other questions our tech support is available 24/7 via support@lutron.com and (1-888-588-7661).

    Yes, I adjusted the dial but that didn't help. I'll explore the dimmer you suggested

    Very happy to say that the MACL-153M did the trick! And it's a nice dimmer at 1/2 the cost of an ELV. I also crossed referenced the supported bulbs and that Phillips was specifically called out as being supported. Thanks again!
