Side by Side Comparison of: Lutron

Works fine; price is definitely right. Instructions for installation were easy. I'm not a handyman kind of person so I need good instructions. The only thing that wasn't meantioned was that the metal tabs on the side may need to be removed or placed under the other unit during installation. This is when there are two or three switches on the same wall plate. I guess that's common sense but I couldn't figure out why it wasn't fitting very well at first. Anyway, it works; lights are dimming and I like the slider part which gives me lots of option on how bright I want the light to be.

I bought the Lutron S600 because it has a positive off switch. The "touch control" dimmer that it replaced would dim the LEDs, but would not turn them completely off. However, at the lowest S600 dimmer setting, the LEDs appear to turn off without using the off-switch. But it's good to have.Note: it is important to use LEDs designed to be dimmable. Ordinary LEDs may not work with certain dimmers, including this one.

I bought two of these dimmers for my living room track lights and am really happy I did. They were easy to install, are grounded and don't hum audibly that I have noticed. I love dimmers because they make lighting more functional. I now use the track lights all the time where before I didn't. These same switches at the local hardware store were $5.00 more apiece.

We wanted to replace our dimmer switches and we wanted to make sure that the new dimmers would be compatible with Feit LED bulbs that we would be soon converting to. I was slightly confused about the model number as the Feit page lists Lutron S600 dimmers as being compatible, but this model is S600H-WH. "S600H-WH" is listed on the outside of the package, but inside "S600" printed on the switch. The "H" indicates that this comes in retail plastic clamshell packaging and the "WH" indicates that the visible parts of the switch are white in color. Inside the package, there are screw-on wire connectors for connecting the switch to the circuit. The package does not include a faceplate, but this is probably for the best since light switches are often installed in various groupings.Overall, we've been very happy with the operation of these dimmers. There generate no noise during operation and there is no audible clicking sound when turning them on or off. We are using these to switch sets of 2 or 3 recessed lights. They worked great with either 65 W incandescent bulbs or the 13 W LED bulbs that we replaced them with (or a mixture of the two types of bulbs).

We hooked this up to a ceiling fan with a high ceiling. We wanted to be able to adjust the fan speed without having to climb up on something to reach the pull-chain. Now, we have the fan pull-chain set on high, and we use this nifty dimmer switch to adjust the fan speed. No more climbing to adjust in the middle of the night!This seems like a nice switch, I expect it will last well and do the job for quite a while.We found the off location on this switch to be just a bit counter-intuitive. The off location is completely at the bottom, but, as you lower the control more power is applied (fan goes faster or light gets brighter). There is just a bit of a click at the bottom to get over before you turn it off. Not a problem, but may throw you for a bit if you don't know where it is.

This outlet is just as easy to install as a regular single pole switch, which most lights seem to be (single pole means only one switch turns on one thing, double pole would mean two switches usually on opposite sides of the room control a single light)The switch does not come with the wall plate, but a regular rectangular switch wall plate would fit, around $2 a Lowes.I'm a 30 year old female and switched my outlets out all on my own with no trouble at all.This switch slides smoothly up and down for easy dimming at any brightness. I installed one of these in my bathroom because the bright lights make me so hot when doing my makeup with the lights on full power so with the dimmer I'm able to turn them down so I don't melt....lol.Some people don't realize this but to turn the light off you must slide the switch all the way down until it clicks off. I have had this exact same switch on my kitchen light for 10years and have NEVER had a problem.I highly recommend this quality product at a great price.

bought two, the second slider was really stiff but its started to loosen up after using it a few times. Works really well with recessed led adapters, and with fluorescent

Work great, dimming 4 11 watt LED equivalent bulbs at a time an no issues, no humming. My only issue is the switch housing itself is very big and caused me a bit of trouble on installation fitting into a multi-gang setup. They are also very big depth-wise and having wires come out and not screw on connections makes them fitting in depth wise also tricky.On a side note, never have I purchased a switch from anywhere that came with a wall-plate. Those crazy enough to leave one star reviews for that are just on another level....ignore those reviews.

I originally bought a couple dimmers at my local Home Depot for $20+ each and my wife didn't like the design. I returned them and hit Amazon to find one. I found this Lutron unit and installed two of them very easily. The slider has a nice click so that you know you've powered it off. The slide is smooth and it appears to be well built. The price was right at aound $10 with free shipping (thanks Prime).

Nice economical slide-off dimmer, with a detent that stops at low-dim. I got it because it's recommended by to go with LED-maker Feit's recommendation. The low dim is perfect for the LED's lowest level, so you don't have to fool around find dim/off. But I have a fluctuation in my circuit that causes the LEDs to pulse down a little, so they fall from Dim into Off after a while. Not the dimmers fault.NOT for CFLs.

I have been using this unit for over a year (two of them actually) and find them to be reliable. However, you have to be careful to push the slider ALL the way down to turn the off (past a "soft stop" in the slider). It is as though they wanted a speedbump to keep the lights from going completely off. Odd and a little annoying...

I installed this dimmer in two incandescent light fixtures. One is about 200W, and it works great with no audible buzzing. The other fixture is about 350W, and both the dimmer and the light would buzz noticeably. Even at 100% brightness, the light and the dimmer would buzz. I ended up removing that one. It seems that the 600W rating is an upper bound - I would not recommend this dimmer above 250W. Below that, it works great.Near 0% brightness, the dimmer has a 'notch' so you can tell when it's supposed to be off. That's a small plus.

The packaging clearly says this product is for halogen and incandescent lighting. I took my chances with LED lights and had mixed results. The recessed "can" lights worked fine with this dimmer. As others have said, the range of light (dim-bright) is not as dramatic as I had anticipated, but it functions. Not so lucky with my track-lighting fixtures using GU10 LED replacement bulbs. On those fixtures I experienced a lot of flickering/strobe-light-effect that only went away when I upgraded to a dimmer switch designed for LED lights.I'll be buying actual LED dimmer switches for my LED fixtures and moving these switches to the bedrooms that use halogen lighting.

Light construction, cheap feel. The slider takes a bit more force to turn off than I like. Maybe it will break in after a while and slide off more easily. Also the range of travel on the slider is small, it's a bit tricky to get the right amount of light.

Looks nice, functions mostly-well. I use a few of these to dim the lights on my ceiling fans. On some occasions, the lights simply shut off when the dimmer is turn full-on too quickly. If I'm more deliberate, it works fine. When it happens, I just turn it off then back on. The wattage for the lights doesn't exceed the switch ratings, and I've confirmed the wiring is correct. Beyond the issue, they work fine.

I used this for the fan in my bedroom. I don't understand why the dimmer is set up so that off is at the bottom, the highest setting is just above that, and the lowest setting is a the top. It's more logical to go from off and then increase as you get higher. Whatever. It works at least.

Returned these b/c they do not include the cover plate. I didn't even open them so I'm sure they function fine but if you need to switch plate cover do know these don't come with one

I bought this exact same switch again because it's on a plate with 2 others, and I didn't want to buy 2 more dimmers. The dimmer I replaced was about six years old and was not often used, so I'm a little discouraged it already stopped working. If another one of these dimmers goes out I'll replace them all with another brand.The new one installed and works just fine, for now.

Doesn't work with LED's until you reach a certain watt usage. Nothing in the tech description shows this.

I had done an Amazon search for LED light dimmers and this came up as a highly rated switch. I should have read closer as the package says "Halogen / Incandescent". However, in the reviews some comment that it works perfectly with LED lights. They must have different LED Lights than what I received as the ones that I had installed do NOT work perfectly with this switch even they are listed as dimmable.This switch has three positions effectively - Off - Low - & Medium.Well - Off to Home Depot and Lowe's tomorrow to see what they can offer.

Picture has plate attached and I did not received one.

it's came without face cover i couldn't use it

Missing wall-plate.

The action on this dimmer is pretty bad. It turns on easily with an easy flick up. However, when trying to turn it off, you need to apply significantly more pressure...so you can't just easily flick it up and down, on and off. It's a minor annoyance, but I don't want to be mildly irritated every time I turn off my light.I've had a lot of dimmers like this in the past, but never really had this issue. Seems like an easy issue for them to fix too...not sure why they can't have the same action turning it off as they do turning it on.Returning it for a different dimmer.

This was advertised as LED, but it is not. I even checked with the Lutron website. Lights flickered and I had to replace the switch to one that officially supports LED.

It does not work with LED lights. I purchased it because one of the answers said it works with LED, but it does not. It is the old-fashioned product working only with conventional bulbs.

Cheap and flickers too much. I've put several other dimmers in without this problem.

False advertisement! ! This switch does not come with a face plate!

Item is defective and Amazon will not take it back. It was a waste of money and not good quality either.

Didn't work for me. Just turns off and on. Made a sound as if there were a short in the switch.
