| Will dim any kind of bulb, any configuration correctlySeptember 12, 2017 Great quality. This brand is the only one I have found that allows you, after you install it, to finely set the "dimmerness" according to what kind of bulbs, wattage, and how many it is controlling. It truly works to dim ANY configuration of ANY kind of dimmable bulbs. It works for "regular" bulbs. It works for CFL dimmable. It works for L.E.D. bulbs. Setting it up is very simple and takes about five minutes, including reading the instructions, and putting the switch plate back on. I found this brand after much frustration with dimmer switches that just did not work. The brand comes in other styles. Another advantage is that if you decide to change the type of bulbs, you don't have to replace the dimmer ever again, just do a simple adjustment. " Works great together. Quick to installAugust 12, 2017 Purchased along with "Sunco Lighting 6 PACK - LED Candelabra Bulbs." Works great together. Quick to install. The lowest setting on the dimmer doesn't go completely dark but that's just fine; is low enough to just barely illuminate the room. When sliding it has a smooth feel and the lights dim gradually, seems to have easing and faring built into the circuit so it's never jolting even if you quickly shove the slider to the opposite end of the range. Overall, the best dimmer I've owned so far. Works Great!May 5, 2017 I bought dimmable LED lights for my dining room chandelier. My old dimmer couldn't shut them off for some strange reason. They would dim, but never shut off completely. I put this one in and love that it has a separate rocker switch to break power to the bulbs. The slide dimmer is smooth and works very well. Just make sure your power box where your current light switch is mounted has a neutral wire accessible in it. Some homes have remote switches that carry current from a junction box at the light fixture down to the switch. You can easily determine this by pulling out the switch and looking in the box. If there are two wires attached to the switch (one hot, the other switched), and nothing else is in the box, you do not have a neutral. Fortunately, my switch was between the power source and the light fixture and the neutral and hot wires pass thru the box. Highly recommendedMarch 18, 2017 We have 8 of these in our house, all with LED bulbs and are very happy with their performance. All of our bedrooms have 4 can lights in the ceiling tray and these dim ten perfectly. A-OKMarch 7, 2016 Very happy with this dimmer, using it to control three dimmable LED's over my dining area. The install was simple, looks great and none of that buzzing noise some dimmers produce. Can also be wired for a three way installation if needed. A-Ok in my book | | | | |

| Dimmer Works..Would like it to allow more dimness.August 24, 2017 Works well. The only change that I would desire is that the slide (dimmer) would allow it to dim a little bit more than it does as I am using it in my dining room and it is just a little too bright. My fixture calls for (3) 60 watt bulbs. I may have to change the bulb type or remove one bulb to get the exact lighting I want.
I also have the dimmer switch in a hallway and in the kitchen and in my living room and I still feel in all those areas that it still needs to be able to dim a little bit more that it is just not a drastic enough dim. Good DimmerJuly 23, 2017 Dimmer works as expected. You cannot fully dim lights, at least LEDs which I am using these on. The toggle switch took a little getting ued to since it is a bit small. All in all, works well and was easy enough to install. Works OK.June 3, 2017 It works better with incandescent than with several LED brands that I have. All dimmable LED's, but with this dimmer, there are drop-outs. No flicker at dimmest setting, which is good, but unlike the Lutron SCL-153P-WH Skylark CL (a bit more expensive, but well worth it), this has very brief, occasional dropouts, and no fine tune adjustment for the dimmest setting. These work well, they're a little wider than normal ...April 20, 2017 These work well, they're a little wider than normal switches, so be mindful if you want to put multiple in the same box.
While not really a problem with the dimmer, make sure you buy LEDs (or other bulbs) that are meant to run off a dimmer. I found some of my older LEDs which aren't certified for dimmers work as long as there's no power fluctuations from the grid... the newer ones specifically purchased to use with these work perfectly through the entire dimmer range. Great - buying againMay 7, 2015 Easy install. Works well. I have three different brands (a Cree,a TCP, and a G7) of dimmable LED in the light fixture and none make noticeable noise.A ceiling fan definitely needs to be wired separate from the lights. If your fan can be switched off using the same wall switch that controls the light, you'll probably have to pull a new wire for the fan.UPDATE: the factory default minimum brightness is maybe 30% of maximum, but it's easy to adjust to make the minimum much more dim. See below.I now have mine so it goes to about 10% of max brightness, which is as low as I can go and still have all three of these non-matched bulbs (with different responses at the low end) light up. Could go even lower using matching (or more similar) LED bulbs. The Cree bulb seems to work the best, no delay when turning on even at minimum brightness. None of the bulbs ever flicker.This dimmer works great. I'm about to buy another. The only thing I don't like is that the rocker-style on/off switch isn't quite as easy to find or use (e.g. with your hands full or when feeling around in the dark) as a traditional toggle switch.From Leviton's instruction sheet:Setting Minimum Light Level (Programming mode)1. Ensure the dimmer is set to the OFF position.2. Set the bulb selector switch to the LED/Incandescent position.3. Push rocker switch to ON position.4. Set the bulb selector switch to the CFL position.5. Raise or lower the slide control level to achieve the desired minimum light level.6. Set the bulb selector switch back to LED/Incandescent position.7. A momentary flash of the bulb will occur confirming the new setting.8. Push rocker switch to the OFF position.9. For dimmable CFL lamps you must return the bulb selector to the CFL position. | | | | |

| Does not dim down enough.March 15, 2017 It's still too bright when dimmed down to minimum Frustrating that flicker-free dimmers don't work for longJanuary 27, 2017 I installed two of these dimmers to control recessed dimmable LED bulbs (replacing older switches that were not compatible with LEDs). At first, I was pleased that the lights did not flicker, but they had very little dimming range, remaining quite bright regardless of where the slide was placed. When the bulbs got warm after being on for perhaps a half hour, they began to flicker. Adjusting the slide had little effect in the brighter range but seemed to help when the slider was in a lower setting, even if the bulbs were still quite bright. I have removed the covers and reset the dimming range according to the SureSlide instructions, and that works for a time, but after a few weeks, the dimming range contracts, the lights remain bright, and the flicker returns. Leviton's trouble-shooting advice to "refer to recommended dimmable LED bulbs" on the Leviton website does not help. These are cheaper and the large slider button is nice to haveSeptember 17, 2016 The dimming range is not linear for my LED lighting. I get most of my dimming at the bottom 25% of the slider movement. Adjusting the minimum dimming range, as specified in the instruction manual, has no effect on this. I ordered a pair of these to try out against the more expensive dimmer from Lutron. These are cheaper and the large slider button is nice to have, versus Lutron's small up/down paddles, but the Lutron dims much better. I guess you get what you pay for. (~$17 vs. ~$31) Don't really need a multi-bulb dimmer.September 7, 2016 Nice quality and works great. It does not automatically accommodate different types of bulbs. There is a switch on the back for manually selecting the type of bulb, which means you must unscrew it from the wall if you want to change the bulb type. Also, how often will someone need to change to different bulb types? I've switched to all LED lighting and it's highly unlikely I'll be switching back to CFLs or incandescents, so probably don't need a dimmer to handle all three, especially when I must pull the switch out from the wall to do so. Also, the toggle-style on/off switch at the bottom is hard to get used to. I'm continually trying to operate the on/off switch as if it was a typical up/down style, like typical light switches. This has been a continual annoyance, even after months of use. For my next dimmer, I'll look for an LED-specific dimmer and one that incorporates a typical style on/off toggle. Nice, but not great.May 23, 2016 It's well made and has a nice amount of resistance on the slider . . . so you can easily set it exactly where you want. Easy to follow installation instructions. But it doesn't give me the full range of brightness with my 14w LED bulb. The lowest the dimmer goes is maybe 33% of original brightness. And brightness doesn't change in a 1:1 ratio with the slider. Moving the slider down the first 25% doesn't dim the bulb very much. Lowering it the last 25% makes a much bigger difference. | | | | |

| Flickering occurs with LED bulbs after awhile.September 7, 2017 I purposely bought this Leviton product because of its historically good name. Unfortunately, when used with LED bulbs, after a half-hour of use, the bulbs start to flicker rapidly unless I turn up the switch to full-on. I bought dimmer-use LED bulbs to ensure this would not happen. Two StarsMarch 13, 2017 Doesn't dim LED lights very well Insufficient control. ...September 13, 2016 I purchased these to use with new SYLVANIA 65-Watt Equivalent White Trim LED 65050 Recessed Retrofit Downlight, yet the dimmer will not dim these lights enough. I end up leaving them all the way down. 100% is really really bright. like a strobe lightSeptember 6, 2016 I got this dimmer for my kitchen in June of 2016.
The reason I am only giving it two stars is in the past several weeks it has been rather humid. When the humidity is over 70%, the light flashes on and off, like a strobe light. This essentially means I can't use the light at all when it is humid. When I change it back to the regular switch I had before installing this, the flashing stops, so I know the issue is with the switch.
Not sure if I just got a dud, but I'm past the 30 days to exchange it. Since I can't exchange it anymore, I won't be buying this product again and instead will try another product. For first few weeks glad I bought it; but then it lost most of its dimming powerAugust 30, 2014 I installed this dimmer in a bathroom, to dim LED lights, and for the first few weeks I was real glad I bought it. I varied the load between a maximum of 72 watts and 16 watts. Prior to installing it I had no idea my spouse would like super-dim bathroom lighting. After installing it, I was surprised to find that she preferred to turn the light down to its lowest setting.
However after a few weeks, the dimmer stopped dimming all the way, and now does not dim nearly as much as it did before. I speculate that this might be because the bathroom gets super steamy, because one family member takes very long baths, though we do have a 70cfm exhaust fan installed. So maybe it will work well in most bathrooms. So I'm going to try out a Lutron MACL-153M in hopes that it will last.
/-------------------
PROS:
I'm a novice with electrical wiring. This item is easy to install if you study the wiring diagram in the installation instructions, and understand that the incoming hot wire from the mains current is black and the outgoing hot wire to the light fixture is red.
CONS:
== one thing I do not like about this product is the lowest dim setting is not low enough. Or maybe the dim setting is low as is technically possible, given the electronics of LED bulbs.
== another thing I do not like, that seems to apply to all the modern dimming devices, is that all are sliders, and none use a knob that one twists. I think the twist knobs afforded great control. | | | | |

| Stopped working after a few days.August 6, 2017 All 3 blubs on the circuit began flickering after a few days. Got a Lutron switch and it has worked ever since. Bought two. One doesn't work. Junk.July 29, 2017 Bought two. One doesn't work. Junk. Item stopped working jul 26. After I paid an electrician to install it. WtfJuly 28, 2017 Item stopped working jul 26. After I paid an electrician to install it. Wtf. Item stopped working jul 26 less that two weeks after receiving and installed. After I paid an electrician to install it. Wtf Item makes all of the bulbs in a fixture flicker so that it is annoying. I tried different settings and it is flickering on and off, sometimes it is fine otherwise it is bad.company has not responded. The switch was easy to put in however it takes about a second ...March 12, 2017 The switch was easy to put in however it takes about a second before the lights actually cycle on. I didn't have this problem with the dimmer switch prior and I will probably be getting a new one very annoying I would give it no stars if I could Died after 1 month of light useJanuary 8, 2015 I purchased this dimmer to control a 6 bulb incandescent ceiling fixture. The total wattage is 350 watts. After about one month of light use, the dimmer simply died. I replaced it with a different dimmer and everything works fine. I believe that the dimmer either has a quality issue or a design issue. I would opt for another device. | | | | |
