Works well in our closet that never had a switch. Only had a pull chain. Glad this product is available.

The media could not be loaded. It took a little bit to match up wires from an existing 3 way standard on off switch to this switch when we recently has a set of 8 can-less 6" LED ceiling lights installed. But, it was more than reasonable.My only issue has to do with the dimming; mind you the manual *did* describe the little knob for adjusting brightness which did help. However, i still AK experiencing the brightness go from low to high and they slightly less than high brightness. Weird. Tuning the knob did help reduce this, but it did not go away. FYI. Not sure if the LEDs are the problem or because there is another switch which is a standard on/off (and not matching switch)....but yeah. Video is the best I could get it.

I selected this switch because I liked the sleek and modern look of it .The old dimmer switch I had could not dim LED bulbs. Also my old switch was the round push-on type and it was necessary to reset the dimmer each time the light went on. Before I ordered the new switch I took apart my old one, just to see what I had inside the wall. My house is 60 years old and a previous owner had made a number of changes, some of which I appreciate (and some are kind of strange.) For instance, there are two breaker panels in this rather small house, one of them clearly newer than the other. So I checked out the old switch and saw that it was the old-fashioned two-wires-wrapped-around-two-screws type . I've replaced those before. There are pretty clear wiring instruction included .The new switch has a ground wire, which my old switch didn't. And the new switch came with wire nuts, which I'd never used before. I went online and watched a wire nut tutorial . Man, those things are brilliant. You, dear reader, may know all about wire nuts, and take them for granted , but I am kind of thrilled by the beauty of this deceptively simple idea.So, not wanting to die because of overconfidence, I turned off all the breakers on both breaker panels. I brought an LED lantern with me so I could see what I was doing.Since there was no ground wire in my wall I followed instructions and taped that newfangled ground wire on the switch to the metal box in the wall. Another thing I liked about the new switch is that the wires were all prepped, the wire sleeve having been cut but left in place on all of them.No need to strip wires-or even to have a wire stripper. One wire had a prominent tag on it which said that if that wire was not needed to leave the sleeve on. I did not need that wire and I left the sleeve on. This made it unnecessary for me to cover what would have been bare wire with electrical tape.About those clever little wire nuts: One of the existing wires in the wall had a much longer stripped part than the (new) switch wires had. At first attempt the wire nut trick wasn't working on this set of wires. Then I remembered that the stripped parts of the two wires I was joining were supposed to be the same length. So I trimmed the longer wire and tried it again and this time it worked beautifully.Again following the instructions I turned on the power and tested the new switch to see that it dimmedproperly before closing everything up. It did, so that was it. The installation was fairly quick , only took a few minutes really .Very happy with the new switch and all that was provided.

Very easy to install. Does look off to the rear of the switches

These are great for turning down the recessed LED lights in my bedroom, kitchen, family room, and dining room. Also saves on energy
