I recently installed a new LED fixture in my bathroom (over the toilet) and it was a bit brighter than I expected - kind of blinding when you go into the bathroom in the middle of the night. Thankfully the LED fixture is dimmable, so I tried hunting down a dimmer. When we repainted the bathroom, we replaced the exhaust fan, all the lights except the one over the toilet, along with all the switches and outlets. I installed brand-new GFCI outlets and Decora-style switches all around. I added a proper timer to the fan and was originally going to install a smart switch for the light over the toilet - to turn the light on and off on a day/night cycle. I quickly discovered that the electrical box for the switch to that light was extremely shallow - about 1-1/2 inches deep. It was a 2 inch box that they had nails driven through it horizontally. As such, a standard light switch fit just fine, but just about any smart device wouldn't have a chance. After looking around at home stores, I discovered that almost every dimmer available was 2 inches deep, at best. I was starting to think I was going to have to rip the box out of the wall, replace it and patch the drywall - more than I wanted to have to deal with for a lousy dimmer. Anyway, I discovered this product on Amazon and it's only 1 inch deep - perfect! Installation was simple, especially using my trusty WAGO Lever Nuts. I had it installed in maybe 10 minutes, including the time to kill the power and remove and reinstall the wall plate. The switch and dimmer work perfectly, although I did notice that at very low light levels, there is a slight flicker introduced when my variable speed furnace blower spins up and down - probably voltage fluctuations on that leg of my power. When the light is set at higher levels, it's not noticeable. The switch has a great look and feels like a quality device, although it doesn't feel quite as heavy-duty as I've generally come to expect from Leviton devices. My guess is that it's a "home-user" product as compared to the "commercial grade" products I'm used to. Still, it feels pretty quality. Read more
Easy install. Quality looked good. Read more
So nice to have a dimmer back after a remodel and they didn't save the old one. This looks great with my new electrical fixtures and works perfectly. It was easy to install my son says. Read more
Replaced a really old-school dimmer switch (floppy round knob and push for on-off) with this, and really like it. The "old school" switches were annoying in the sense that if the lights were off and you pushed the switch to turn on, you might not get any light, because the previous person had simply dimmed the lights to zero. At this point, you've actually turned the lights off, so twisting the dimmer also gives you nothing. The separate on / off solves that nicely. The only thing I don't like is that this design follows a trend I've seen of incorporating the three leads (hot, neutral, ground) into the body of the switch, and requiring the use of wire nuts to connect the switch to the supplied power line. The main problem with this is that the existing box may be too small to accommodate the wire nuts and switch body (mine barely fit as it was a strange very small old box). I've had this issue with an outlet that included USB as well. Can't we just go back to the screw terminals on the side of the devices, please? Read more
Nice quality dimmer, easy install Read more
Ordered these for my houe, had them installed and work like a charm! Happy I went with these versus the other brands. Checked Lowe’s and they wanted ~$26 per dimmer and so I looked on amazon and found these and they are perfect. Had them installed the other day and they seem very sturdy and id buy them again for sure. Great value for the money if you ask me. And good control with the dimming, doesnt get completely dark but it does make the light be able to get lower and I am happy I did this! Read more
The media could not be loaded. I only fixed the light with two screws through a junction box. And it looks fine. It works with a dimmer without flicking. The temperture does not change even if you turn on and off the light fast. Only two wires are there black and neutral. Easy to install if you already have a junction box. Read more
I've usually had very good luck w/ Leviton switches. I have at least seven Leviton dimmers in the house that have been trouble-free for decades. Unfortunately that particular model isn't made any more so I purchased this one for a bathroom renovation; it hasn't lasted for two months! (And close to a month of that time it remained in the box until I was ready to install it.) The dimmer slide works fine but the switch part sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Is this a bad item/bad design or did I just "luck out" and get a faulty one? Either way I have to replace it and the return date has passed so I'll find a different replacement. Very unfortunate.
