Trouble-Free Installation, Good Functionality, Nice Looking
I am moderately handy around the house, although I respect/fear electricity as the deadly black magic that it is. That being the case, I was a little nervous about swapping out four different light switches for dimmer switches.Couldn't have been easier. Instructions were clear, although it's really a very simple process. And I didn't have to fuss with the calibration wheels on the switches at all. The dimmers worked perfectly through the spectrum of essentially almost off, to full bright.Highly recommended.

Cheap but it works well!!!
The media could not be loaded. I like the instructions and it comes with 4 caps in case you have a third switch plate. I'm not impressed with the panel. The size doesn't fit . Rocker is cheap and the dimmer slide is close to the switch. I bought this because I wanted my kitchen light dimmed at night and need to feel the plate by memory. Every time I go to turn on the switch I get my knuckles hit on the dimmer slider. For me it's too close to the rocker switch. It was easy to install. Only got zapped once lmaoooo!

Awesome deal
Great deal for this switch. I love how you can change the brightness of the light by sliding your finger up and down the switch. Very well made and easy to install. Works great.

Not sure what happened but can no longer reccommend.
I had ordered these switches before and they worked great. I recently ordered a box of 10 of these and half of them are defective. By that I mean that they don't turn on and off correctly. Rather than the definitive 'click' that you get when you throw the rocker, these have no noticeable difference between the 'on' and 'off' position and often I have to toggle it several times to make it work.Dimmer works fine, basic on and off does not.

Best dimmer I have
This is really exactly what I was looking for. I just bought a house and it has upwards of 50 hi-hat lights - all incandescent. We swapped every one of them for 75w equivalent LED dimmable retrofit hi-hats. In some rooms it's just too much, but the dimmers make everything perfect. I started by buying a two pack of these dimmers as some of the reviews indicated flickering, etc. so I wanted to be sure before buying a bunch. The two switches worked perfectly, so I then bought another 10 pack. These are less than half the price of anything I can buy locally, and work better than any dimmer I've used (though I haven't used a huge amount). What sets this one apart, is the minimum light control wheel on these - and it's likely the cause of "problems" I read about in other reviews. You use this wheel before putting the faceplate on - i.e. set it, and forget it. What it does is sets the power for the minimum light when the dimmer is all the way down, but not off. You do have to play with it a little to get it right (but believe me, it's simple). What you'll find is that if you drop the light until its barely on, and throw the switch - sometimes when it you switch it back on, there's not enough power to turn the light on to the minimum setting. This wheel lets you increase the power a tiny bit until you find that point where the light will always light on the minimum setting. I think this is where some reviewers might be going wrong is that they don't set this properly at installation, and then they have too little power on the minimum setting and it may not always be on when all the way down. My other dimmers have mixed results some are on, some are off on when technically on - but turned all the way down. I love the fact that this lets you set the default minimum position, which I do set to on - but at the lowest setting that it will consistently illuminate. When you set this wheel, make sure you click the switch on and off a few times to make sure it will come back on consistently. If it doesn't, just slide the wheel a bit and you should have a good outcome. I also love that these come with a screw-less faceplate. My only issue is that most of my dimmers are in gang boxes so I couldn't use them :(I'm using these mainly with 6" Fein Retrofit 75W LED hi-hats from Costco.
