I am looking to install ~ 40 Blue 2-1 switches in the next 6-8 months for a house renovation. Those would control many canless wafer LEDs several in 3/4 way configurations. In trying to determine which LEDs to use for a trouble (flicker/hum) free setup, I have found very little information. I tried the compatibility app which had very few entries and seemed dated (based on an entry that was no longer available and replaced with another light). Also, there is no date or firmware associated with the information. Scrolling through posts I coincidently see a comment about a brand of light that was working but no other relevant information like number of lights connected, switch setup (single pole on/off, 4 way dimming, etc.), firmware, trailing or leading edge switch configuration and so on.
I was also considering the Lutron switches and they have extensive compatibility testing available. One is through this link LED Compatibility Tool | Lutron and the other through this link LED Product Selection Tool (lutron.com). I used the second tool and came up with the list below as a starting point for lights that are potentially compatible with a Blue 2-1 . I searched for a few brands that are locally available at the big box stores and would work with Lutron’s consumer smart switches (Casetta and Diva). What I found was a dimming range that varied from trailing to leading edge (TE or LE) or switch to switch. There are many, many other brands tested against their entire switch line if you wish to look for yourself. I know their switch designs are not the same as the Blue but wanted some data with switches that the TE/LE could be configured.
Responding will not only help me but hopefully save others from buying and incompatible or less compatible light. This will also allow a dialogue with the commenter if needed. What I am hoping for is for users to provide their experience with working Blue switches and provide the following information:
Light model #:
Number of lights being controlled:
Switch mode (toggle, dimmer - 1,3 or 4 way):
Firmware version:
Leading (LE) or Trailing edge (TE):
Dim level range (Approx.):
Any Comments:
Here is the data from the Lutron testing:
