Premium Performance: Leviton’s Decora Smart® ELV/LED Phase Selectable Dimmer
Leviton’s newest smart solution for electronic low-voltage and LED lighting applications offers homeowners, contractors, and distributors the power of choice and control
Leviton’s Decora Smart® Wi-Fi line of smart switches, plugs, outlets, and more provides homeowners and electrical professionals with a comprehensive range of smart residential solutions, all readily controllable through the ease of the My Leviton App. And Leviton’s latest addition to the line – the Decora Smart Wi-Fi ELV/LED Phase Selectable Dimmer -- is no different, now bringing homeowners, contractors, and distributors a new level of convenience when it comes to popular electronic low-voltage and LED lighting applications.
“Decora Smart offers the most complete line of Wi-Fi lighting control solutions and we continue to expand the line to address the most prominent residential applications,” said Leviton’s James Shurte, Senior Product Manager, Residential, Smart Home. Towards that end, “our new ELV/LED Phase Selectable Dimmer is fully compatible with LED, CFL, and incandescent technologies and enables dimming for electronic low-voltage lighting applications such as undercabinet, toe kick, accent, tape, recessed, track lighting, and more.”
“These types of electronic low-voltage lighting fixtures add a different kind of ambiance to the house, especially in higher-end homes, and our new dimmer is designed to control loads directly without the need for a power extender,” Shurte noted. “The new ELV/LED Phase Selectable Dimmer provides smooth dimming control that lets installers tailor lighting to their customer’s specific needs.”
While all of Leviton’s Decora Smart dimmers allow homeowners to “personalize” their lighting with everything from gradual fade on and custom dimming pre-sets to specialized nighttime options and more, “we’re seeing the increasing incorporation of electronic low-voltage lighting fixtures in new construction as well as remodels of kitchens and bathrooms, so the ELV/LED Phase Selectable Dimmer is an ideal solution,” said Shurte.
“As contractors want to prevent flickering lights and satisfy their customers, the ELV/LED Phase Selectable Dimmer enables them to change between forward |

and reverse phase dimming, set a minimum dim level to improve performance, and fine-tune devices in the field to ensure that the homeowner is happy,” Shurte explained.
“Another big benefit is the way the ELV/LED Phase Selectable Dimmer handles 3-way or multi-way controls (e.g., controlling the same lighting from multiple locations),” he continued. “This product has a hard-wired option and also works with Leviton’s Anywhere Companions (wire-free, battery-powered switches and dimmers that can pair with any Decora Smart dimmers without Wi-Fi or an app) so that you can easily add control wherever you need it.” Once installed, homeowners can connect to the smart home platform of their choice – the new dimmer works with Matter, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Home, SmartThings, IFTTT, and more – to support ultimate flexibility and customer choice.
The Smart Choice for Distributors
“It benefits distributors to carry Leviton’s ELV/LED Phase Selectable Dimmer for several reasons,” Shurte confirmed.
“If a contractor needs a smart dimmer but is unsure of the type of lighting their customer has, this product will be able to address it – whether it’s ELV, LED, CFL, halogen, or incandescent,” Shurte said. “If distributors carry our Wi-Fi 600W dimmer and ELV/LED Phase Selectable Dimmer as an upgrade and also carry Leviton’s On/Off 15A Switch and our Smart Fan Control, those four core switches and dimmers will typically cover most of what’s needed for their residential customers.”
“Ultimately, Leviton’s entire Decora Smart line positions homeowners, contractors, and distributors for success and the My Leviton app conveniently supports a full portfolio of connected lighting and load control, energy management, EV charging, and safety products,” Shurte said. “The new ELV/LED Phase Selectable Dimmer offers premium performance at a cost-effective price.”
“We take pride in our breadth of line – from our smart switching and dimming to our new phase selectable ELV dimmer, motion sensing dimmers, and more,” Shurte concluded. “At Leviton, we’re all about making robust features accessible to the marketplace at a great value to help homeowners, contractors, and distributors tap into the benefits of smart living.”
