Whereas 90CRI, full range dimming are found more on higher end fixtures. What you are asking for - slim, switchable colour temps are features typically on cheaper products with high glare and poor colour rendition. We had Philips give us some samples of these for a job: I still haven't seen a good one that is comfortable on the eye when you look at it.

Finally, there are wireless protocols that would be integrated with the driver rather than the dimmer: Z-Wave, plain old WiFi, etc. DMX is an old digital standard mostly used for theatrical lighting, but there is some crossover into the architectural lighting market. DALI is the digital successor, but you're unlikely to find much out there for residential.
0-10v is one option, "three wire" dimming is another.these are both old standards from dimmable fluorescent days that have been brought forward for use with LEDs. They will all require that your dimmer switch match the control standard used by the light (driver). To really open your options you'll need a dimming signal that is separate from the power.

Many lighting manufacturers will integrate HiLume drivers as an add-on option. I'm not sure if Caseta is on there, but if you go up to Ra2 you can do it. With HiLime, You will be limited in your choice of dimmers, so read their compatibility charts. Then you set the low end trim on the dimmer switch so that the lowest level of the dimmer actually corresponds to 30% instead of 1% voltage. It works by remapping the dimming curve, so when it gets down to something like 30% voltage it dims the LEDs to 1% brightness (this is smoothed out over the whole range, it isn't a sudden drop to 1%). Lutron makes a driver that can achieve 1% dimming using a two wire dimmer (HiLume 1%). But below a certain voltage threshold, there isn't enough power for the driver to operate at all. Dimmable LEDs (aka the LED driver circuit) basically detect the lower voltage and use it to signal the dimming. Dimmer switches (through various means) work by reducing the average voltage they deliver. Sorry I don't have a specific product recommendation, but I can provide some background info that might help you in your search.ġ% dimming an LED using a line voltage (two wire) dimmer is tough to get right. Only 1 will be in the bathroom for damp rating.
I'll have some flat ceiling areas, but mostly these will be in vaulted ceilings. I would appreciate any advice on brands and specific models to consider. I'm thinking either Lutron Caseta, or Leviton Decora Smart Wi-Fi switches. I'm going to have these integrated with a smart switch, so I can can turn them on/off with Google Home. I've been told this could have to do with the dimmer switch, although I've also read the driver - or the compatibility between the driver and dimmer switch is a big player. Dim to warm (probably not going to find this in the form factor in looking for, but might as well add it to my dream list in case product designers are reading this thread).Dimmable to 1% (ideal) or maybe settle at 5%.Selectable colors, in case it ends up that we prefer 2700 over 3000 or 3500.Low profile installation like the lights above.My perfect lights would have the following: Also, both seem to only dim to 10% which from what I read means it is perceived to be about 32% brightness to the human eye, while 1% measured brightness gets to about 10% perceived brightness. Both have fixed position and adjustable versions, although I believe neigher of them adjust to the angle of my 7/12 and 8/12 pitches. The two recommended to me are Halo HLB and Lithonia WF-4. They say they use them instead of cans even when there's tons of room. Even though the ceiling joists are exposed, I'm being encouraged by some experienced remodeling contractors I know to not look for super shallow cans that fit in the 2圆 and 2x8 joists, and to instead get the thin wafer style integrated LED lights. I'm remodeling and I vaulted all the ceilings.
