considerations
Ganging and derating
Ganging is the mounting of two or more
dimmers or accessory devices side-by-side
under a multi-gang wallplate. When you
combine two or more dimmers, you may
need to derate the power rating and remove
a portion of the dimmer beneath the wallplate.
See pg. 170 for details.
Lighting load interfaces
To dim larger loads on a single dimmer, you can
use a power interface. Interfaces require 3-wire
dimmers and may require additional power feeds
from distribution panels. See pg. 174 for details.

LTM dimmers are UL
listed for controlling a broad range of dimmable
CFLs and LEDs. They offer more reliable dimming
performance over standard dimmers when
dimming CFLs and LEDs.
CFL and LED loads are quantified in Watts (W).
Lutron offers dimmers designed specifically
for dimmable CFL and LED lighting loads.
