Inline Lamp Switch, Full Range Rotary Dimmer Switch, Black Cord Switch Replacement for Floor Lamp, Table Lamp, Pendant Light, Works with Incandescent, Halogen Bulbs, Dimmable LED

I replaced a cracked inline dimmer on a decorative table lamp in the living room. The original was soldered in place so I was pleased to find this one that does not need soldering. It was easy to cut the cord and replace with this one. Tools needed were a wire stripper and very small screwdriver. The instructions are clear. But there is one error you should know about. The illustration is reversed where it shows the load side and the lamp side. The actual dimmer is what you should follow. Load goes to the outlet and the other side goes to the lamp. To simplify installation you strip the ends of the wire, insert them into slots and crimp them down with screws. Two issues: the slots are fairly shallow. So strip only about 3/16" of insulation. You don't want bare wire extending outside of the slot. Second is that the binding screws are quite small and the slots won't fit a standard screwdriver. So be sure you have a set of jewelers screwdrivers on hand. Other than that, the finished install is quite clean and safe. The dimmer works well and does a linear dim. My lamp happens to still have incandescent bulb so I cannot comment on dimming an LED bulb. But it is rated for them. I recommend this dimmer.

The first day, it dimmed the high range smoothly and reliably. The second day, it dimmed the full range, but not smoothly, and some flickering manifested. When the lamp failed, I wrote this nasty review , then I replaced the switch. I discovered one wire was coming loose, but I had already bought an identical replacement under a different brand. I incidentally discovered that a non-dimmable bulb will not behave properly on this dimming switch. Two reasons it did not work properly from the start, and both were my fault. I changed one star to five.

Generally happy, seems well made, easy install. Notes: dims LED nicely (no flicker), but doesn't dim down to 0%. In other words, instead of 0-100% control, more like 30/40%-100%. Not a huge deal unless you wanted to dim down to a glow. Also, schematic shows load (bulb) being wired on end nearest dimmer knob, but circuit board shows load wired to opposite end of switch. I chose to follow printed circuit board load location and worked fine. Knocked a star off for this error in instructions

Good quality! Instructions included. Works well!

Great product. Very well built and very, very good function. Super easy to install. I've gone back 3 times for more. Just impressed by the quality and service. Perfect option when replacing cord switch on lamps.

Easy to install. Unfortunately it does not dim smoothly... dims down to about 25-30% and then clicks off. No way to get really low light levels - e.g., glowing filament. pretty disappointed as the specifications claim 0% - 100%. I guess that is strictly true :-(

Nice continuous dimming, no flicker. The inputs and outputs are marked correctly - an earlier reviewer had reported that they were switched

4 screws for fastening the casing are too big. I used tape to wrap. 4 electrical wire fasteners are defective.

easy to install, clear helpful instructions, clever clips to secure wires. Rotary dial works well.

I ordred a in-wall dimmer about a month ago but it did not perform well. But this one is much better. An excellent dimmer that is independant of house wiring. If you are using a "Vintage Giant LED Edison Light Bulb" it will dim very smoothly -and does so nicely. However, other led bulbs may not dim well. Parts are strong and fit very well. Easy to install if you have some previous experience with electronics, if not - call a friend with deft electrician hands.

I used these to control dimmable 120 volt LED bulbs. They work well but the plastic housing is thin, flimsy. It was easy for me to wire the switch into a lamp cord, but you will have to strip the wires, insert the ends into the terminal strips inside the housing and use a very small Phillips head screwdriver to tighten the terminals. Very easy if you are comfortable doing such things on 120 volt wiring.

Easy to install and certified. The people who want zero light to full light most dimmers don't work that way. Starts at a certain brightness than goes to full. Works fine for me

Does what is should. Came on time.
