Anyone still using par 38 bulbs?

Is the Lutron dimmer an in wall type that fits into a normal electrical box? If so, pull it back out & check it for a small adjustment screw, usually at the top. Some have them, some don't but worth a look see & if it's there, tweaking it may get the LED to dim properly, but only if it is a dimmable PAR38 LED. If you can't dim it, you can raise it a little higher if you see signs of coral getting burned.
