    From single pole rocker switch to dual dimmable with LEDs

    Hi Guys,
    I am trying to replace a single box toggle switch that controlled two light fixtures to one that will work with LED lights, one a track light the other a pendant. I need the track light to be dimmable and controlled by a separate switch and I don’t care whether the second light is merely an off-on or dimmable as well. I tried the Lurton switch that had two dimmable elements, one supposedly for a light, the second for a fan, but that would not work. When I turned on the light switch it worked the track light perfectly, dimming or not. When I turned on the fan switch it made the track light buzz like crazy and only partially worked. The folks at Home Depot have no idea. Can anyone recommend the correct switch for the job please
    many thanks

    Lutron makes 2 non-system devices that might work. The MA-L3L3 is a dual dimmer. The MA-L3S25 is a dimmer/switch combo. These are pre-LED devices that are still available. The dimmers are forward phase and have a fairly high minimum load requirement. They were designed for incandescent loads so Lutron "doesn't support" their use with LED loads.
