Single Pole Rotating Dimmer Switch, Rotate On/Off, Use with Dimmable LED, CFL, and Incandescent Bulbs, Includes Two Knob Colors, UL Listed, White/Light Almond, 18021

It works well with LED dimmable light bulbs. The push on/off knob has a nice, solid click feel, and the knob turns very smoothly. It includes two knobs (white and beige), making it easy to match the switch plate color.

I really enjoy being able to dim all the LED lights around my house. They need to be bright - some of the time - but at other times this can be excessive. These dimmers are very easy to install, and work perfectly (provided that all the LEDs in any one fixture are dimmable, ideally of the same type). I specially like the push-push on-off switch, because people using my older slider dimmers sometimes just slid them down to a very low low, not completely off. The only thing that baffles me is that the dimmers, when shaken, sound s if there are a whole lot of loose bits and pieces inside. That doesn't seem to affect their functioning, but we'll have to see how long they last.

This was installed in my kitchen and works very well

I bought the classic toggle switch version of this dimmer to use with my Philips Ultra Efficient 100w LED bulbs. It was around $15. This dimmer switch was fairly simple to install and it dims well. It seems to apply some sort of smoothing effect when moving the slider--as in the brightness of the bulb doesn't instantly respond to the movement of the dimmer slider like a traditional incandescent dimmer would. It also has more of a delay (probably only around 100ms) when turning on compared to my non-dimming switches with the same bulb and fixture. This is fine for me, but I thought some people might like to know that. One thing I don't really like is the quality of the sound that the switch makes when flipping it on and off. It has a very harsh and cheap-ish sound when you flip the switch, so I would look for something different if you care about that. The switch feels more lightweight and 'plasticky' than my other higher quality switches. I did appreciate the simplicity of the calibration for minimum brightness. Setting it was definitely easier than a lot of the other dimmer switches I have worked with.

When I was a kid, I remember discovering the existence of dimmers, and thought they were amazing! But my dad said they were really expensive, and then you have to hire an electrician, so it's even more expensive. HE WAS SO WRONG! I don't have a lot of experience doing DIY electrical work, but I've installed a few light fixtures. This was MUCH easier to install. Of course, you do need to understand the basics of household electricity, but some YouTube videos ought to do the trick. This was not hard to install! I installed a very bright light fixture with lots of bare Edison bulbs over my kitchen table, and we found it blinding! A dimmer was the solution! Now we can have bright light when we want it for working on projects at the kitchen table, or much softer lighting at meals. I LOVE IT. It's easy to tap the knob to turn it on and off, and easy to twist the knob to adjust the brightness. There are much more expensive dimmers out there, but I can't imagine why you would want anything more complicated than this! I love that the design is very plain, so it doesn't draw attention to itself, and that it comes with two colors of knobs to make sure it matches your switchplate. FYI, you don't need a special switchplate! I was looking all over Amazon to find a specialty wall plate for a dimmer, but turns out, you just use a regular light switch cover plate, and the knob covers up the rectangular hole for the old light switch. I realized I had a lighting problem in my bedroom, too. I got bedside lamps and smart bulbs for them, so I could have softer lighting that didn't blind me when I laid down in bed, because the chandelier hanging in the center of the room DID blind me! So I ordered another of these dimmer switches, and installed it myself in a few minutes. PROBLEM SOLVED. Now I can dim the chandelier! Just be aware that not all LED bulbs are dimmable. The bulbs in my chandelier act up every now and then, flickering unpleasantly for about a minute. But then they stop. I will probably replace them sometime, but right now it's not enough of an annoyance. The bulbs in my dining fixture dim just fine, no problems. Since I didn't have dimmers when I purchased the bulbs, I didn't pay any attention to whether they're dimmable, but I will be paying attention to that from now on!

Works great - looks good.

Delivered quickly and carefully packed- the usual. What is unusual is that not only does the dimmer come in a light, tight package, but the actual dimmer has a very smooth, silent and precise mechanism. It comes with two different buttons, white and beige for legacy covers. The ground strap nut is very well positioned at the bottom of the dimmer case. The dimmer case is physically smaller than the legacy one, therefore easier to install. The range of low-to-bright is even adjustable! Quality item at a fair price.

Replacing a wall switch with a dimmer should be a ten-minute job at worst. Mine took much, much longer. The first issue was the push-a-stripped-wire-into-the-hole connections just wouldn't work. Whatever was supposed to grip the wire wasn't making contact -- nothing would grab the wire. A design flaw? A production defect? Hard to say. So I had to make all my connections using the screw terminals. It would have been easy if the screws would have screwed out far enough. It also might have helped if those screws would have stayed in place instead of flopping in and out while I tried to fish the wires under them. It was simply hard and frustrating trying to make those connections. I spent a lot of time running into the basement and the garage hunting up tools. It turned that 10-minute job into something more like a half-hour. The good news is that once I had those connections the dimmer worked perfectly first time. My experience with such devices is they are very reliable. I have never had one fail. So with luck I won't ever have to mess with this one again.

The dimmer was easy to install & works as described however the switch feels cheap & there isn’t a very wide range of brightness levels. On the lowest level it’s too bright for my needs.

Fait le même travail qu’ un à roulette

Terminal screw was stripped when it was received. Very cheap quality overall for a GE product.

I returned item for refund.

Not actually a push button... need to rotate to turn on/off instead of pushing.
