GE 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

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 a replacement project and the installation was very easy. This product worked just as it should. Definitely would recommend this product.

This is a nice dimmer that does work great but beware that it doesn’t come with any panel. Look at my picture for reference. You push it to turn on the light and then you can spin it to dim.

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!

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.

Very well made, high-quality switch. It works flawlessly. Very pleased.It is billed as a single pole switch, however, the simple act of removing a piece of tape renders it capable being used as a three-way switchI think there product title is selling themselves short. Flip through the photos in the listing to see wiring options.

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.

This is a very good quality dimmer switch that allows for gradual to no dimming and will stay at your chosen option until you deliberately change it.
