How it rates
How we vetted it
Vetted from Lutron's specifications, retailer listings and reviews (about 4.9 out of 5 at Best Buy), and published reviews. We haven't used this kit ourselves.
What works well
The dimmer plugs into an outlet and has two outlets of its own for lamps, rated for up to 100 watts of dimmable LED or 300 watts of incandescent. The Pico remote works on its own, with no hub needed, and reaches about 30 feet through walls. Reviewers call it rock solid. If you later add Lutron's Smart Bridge, it works with schedules, an app, and the major voice assistants.
Why we chose it
- No wiring, no hub
- Handheld remote
- Runs two lamps
- Very reliable
In your room
This is the single most useful change for a bedroom at night. Plug both bedside lamps into it, put amber or warm bulbs in, and keep the remote on the nightstand. The overhead light never needs to come on again.

Skip it if
You want to dim a ceiling light, or you only need on and off.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants to control bedside lamps from bed, renters included, since there's nothing to install.
Where it fits in the room
Picture it in a Warm Organic room.
The right piece lands better in a room that was planned for the two of you. Start from the Warm Organic look in the Room Designer, set the light and the layout, and see the space come together around it.
