Lutron’s latest Diva deals with your more dramatic lighting.

The new $130 Diva smart dimmer for ELV+ lighting brings higher-tech lighting control to the Caseta smart lighting line's new look.

Designed for low-voltage fixtures like under-cabinet, track, accent, and tape lighting, it costs twice as much as the standard dimmer but offers phase-selectable dimming.

Lutron also launched its Caseta Pico paddle remote in five new colors.

If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission.


The new dimmer controls electronic low-voltage loads and supports LED, MLV, incandescent, and halogen lighting. It can also deal with humming and flickering issues.
