Can these be wired into a 4-way? I want to be able to dim my kitchen.

4-way (or more) wiring requires companion dimmers for all secondary switch locations. This set comes with one companion dimmer, so you would need to buy one more (MA-R or MSC-AD) for your 4-way installation. Basically, the dimmer controls the load and the companions trigger the dimmer. The instruction sheet says: 5. Maestro C-L Dimmers ARE compatible with standard mechanical switches in 3-way applications only. Requires additional setup and programming. See "Two-Location applications using an existing switch". (sic) 6. When using Maestro Companion Dimmers in a 3-way / 4-way circuit you must use only one Maestro C-L Dimmer and up to 9 Maestro Companion Dimmers (MA-R, MSC-AD).

Yes -- read the description which says "Use only 1 Maestro Smart Dimmer per zone, up to 9 additional locations require Maestro Remote Dimmers." I installed them as part of a 4 or 5 way switch connection in a hallway/stairwell with several entrances. Lutron's technical support is really great. Call them with any questions and they will be glad to help you.

I see on mine that there is a 3 way switch. I have a regular bulb in mine but if i put a 3 way bulb in i could have 3 different setting. So if you want a dimmer light put a 3 way bulb in it.

They are hard wired in our application as pendent lights over a kitchen island. You could add a plug and power them that way if need be.

If you buy the correct type of bulbs that are dimmable then you shouldn't have an issue. I have these set up with a single pole and 3 way switch dimmer with no issues.

Should work OK--they can be direct wired to a switched line, or wired to a plug. The light should be sufficient to light the counter top, but might be a bit too bright (we have them mounted under cabinets that are 18" above the countertop, but low enough so you don't look up into the fixture.

These don't have a wattage rating, per se, since they just send a signal to the main dimmer (eg: MAW600H-WH) to turn on and what level to set. The main dimmer, either 600 or 1,000 watts, which ever you installed, is still carrying the load. This isn't a true "three-way" switch setup, it's more of a remote controller.

Yes you can. I have eight in use connected to dimmer circuits. Socket type has no bearing on using a dimmer.

Yes; that is how I am using this in two different rooms. And that should be the only 3way setup. 2 dimmers would not work correctly.

Unfortunately no. They are intended for use with the single wire dishes only. You will need what is called a multi-switch.

I don't know because it was never my intention to dim them. However all incandescent bulbs will work on a dimmer switch but at 7 watts I don't know how much control you would have. BTW this is a very nice product.

Don't believe you can. The inner wiring is for two independent fixtures or a fan/light combo. The fan side has set stops in the slider for variable speeds. The other side is traditional slider to dim the light. The respective switch for each turns it off and on.

A four way lighting situation usually consists of 2 3-way switches and one 4-way switch. This should work if you use it to replace one of the 3-way switches, but will probably not work to replace the 4-way switch.JohnJohn

There is nothing from the manufacturer that states that these CANNOT be used with a dimmer, but I would ask a professional before installing.

You can wire them to a switch. But the wire is really short on these. I trashed mine they were going to take way to much sodering for my liking.

I don't think so. They have a dc transformer. You can wire them into a non dim-able light switch. I bought a remote dimmer I can use to dim them.

Hey Big Hank. To be honest I don't know the answer to that question. I'd "assume" you cant as I haven't had experience with many smart bulbs that work with dimmers. Well not unless you spend a good amount of money on them. These are fairly in-expensive in the grand scheme of bulbs. If you give it a whirl please let me know.
