    Lightbulb 1000 watts dimmer for incandescent bulbs - adjustable

    I have 5 100w incandescent bulbs on a dimmer and I want to change them to 150w bulbs, so I need to go to a 1000 watt dimmer.
    I need to be able to adjust the level so I can have the bulbs be barely glowing at the lowest level.
    (Using LED bulbs is not an option for this application.)
    This is the only switch for these lights, so I don't need a 3-way dimmer.

    Is there a Lutron dimmer that will meet my needs?

    Thank you.

    I purchased a Skylark S-103PH dimmer, but it doesn't seem to have a way to adjust the brightness at the lowest dimmer level.
    So what I need is a dimmer like that, but the internal adjustment capability.

    Hello Eric. Incandescent dimmers do not have a low-end trim adjustment dial; that only came around when LED dimmers came out. We do have a 1000W LED+ dimmer, which is backwards compatible with incandescent lights. It is the model PD-10NXD, and you can adjust the low end trim digitally through a series of button holds and presses on the device. Here is a link to the spec sheet: https://assets.lutron.com/a/documents/369919_web.pdf
