Review: Works well - Pricey but high quality
Review: Worked flawlessly with LEDs, followed wiring diagram from Lutron's website - The local blue home store sells a combo pack containing an macl-153 Master dimmer with a ma-rr companion dimmer. I had been hoping to use the master and companion along with one mechanical three-way at the end for controlling lights from Three locations. It turns out that the master can be used with a mechanical switch, but only if the light is being controlled from just two locations. Once you want to control from three or more, all of the non Master switches need to be companion switches. The installation instructions listed several compatible companions, including the ma-rr as well as the msc-ad (this one). I followed the wiring diagram from lutron's website, rather than the one from the package, and everything works flawlessly with my LED lights. The combo pack from the big blue home store included face plates that I don't plan on using. I appreciate that this switch is sold without trim. I imagine it helps keep the price down.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't find these in your local hardware store!
*by M***N on February 27, 2015*

I recently moved into a new home that had no dimmers installed on any lights. I visited my local hardware store in search of multi-location dimmer switches. The only true multi-location switch they had was the Lutron Maestro master switch. I bought two of them for one set of lights. Herein lies my first problem. None of the exterior packaging on the master switch said that you had to buy the companion switch for all but one location for the circuit. Unfortunately, none of the local hardware shops in town carried the companion switch because it didn't sell well (presumably because people didn't know they needed it!) Long story short: if you want true multi-location dimming capability, you MUST buy ONE of the Maestro master switches and the rest of the switches on that circuit must be THIS companion switch. ALSO worth mentioning is that this companion switch will work with any lights: incandescent, CFL, or LED, so long as the master switch is compatible with your lights. Now on to the review! I consider myself fairly electrically competent, at least enough to run new outlets and whatnot. Converting my old, 3 way non-dimming switch setup over to these 3-way dimmers was very simple since the package the switch comes in does include instructions for various scenarios. My advice to anyone wiring these switches is to pay attention when removing wires from your old switches so that you get it right on the first try. These switches look very nice and clean. I bought it in white; however they offer a multitude of colors to match your decor. The switch has a satisfying click when you tap the button, and it has a few nice features. For instance, you can double tap the button at any time to instantly raise the lights to max brightness. The switch remembers the last brightness setting you had so that when you turn the lights back on, it goes to that setting. Probably my favorite feature is the way the switch dims the lights on and off; it just looks so classy! Long story shot, I'm very happy with the Lutron Maestro series of switches. Since I moved in, I have replaced all my light switches in the house with the same style Lutron switches and I have had no failures. They all look sharp and have a clean, crisp feel when switching on and off. I would definitely recommend them!
