The Lutron LUX-LBX 120 volt device provides capability for certain Lutron dimmers to control low-wattage loads from 0 watts up to the dimmer’s minimum rating. It presents a simulated load to the dimmer to meet the minimum load requirements even when the actual load is smaller.  This "load-side" device installs on the zone wiring in parallel with the lighting load. It provides an equivalent minimum load for Lutron dimmers when the actual load is too low for proper control unit operation.

FEATURES

• Works with forward phase or leading edge dimmers and reverse phase or trailing edge dimmers
• Input: 120 V 100 mA 50 / 60 Hz
• Dissapates a maximum of 10 watts when the controlling dimmer is near high-end
• Color: White

DETAILS

SOURCES/LOAD TYPES*
*The dimmer must be rated for the load type being used. The LUT-LBX does not change the approved load types of the dimmer, just the minimum load requirement. For example, MLV loads must still be used with MLV dimmers.

Operates these sources when wired in parallel with the load:

• Incandescent (Tungsten)
• Halogen
• Magnetic Low-Voltage Transformer
• Electronic Low-Voltage Transformer
• Lutron Tu-Wire Electronic Fluorescent Dimming Ballast
• Neon/Cold Cathode
• LED lighting (refer to Application Note #138 for further details)

TERMINALS

• Accepts up to two 12 AWG (2.5 mm2) wires

ENVIROMENT

• 32 - 104 °F (0 - 40 °C). Relative humidity
• less than 90% non-condensing

MOUNTING

• Surface or recess mount indoors only

EMC Immunity

• Surge protection up to 6 kV, 3000 A, IEEE std. C62.41
• ESD protection up to 16 kV
