I've used Leviton dimmers for sometime now and not sure any have failed. This model adds a new feature from the ones I've had before with MAX and MIN dim! The prior LED supported models I have all thru my house have MIN dim only. MAX is nice because so many of the LED light fixtures have extreme high output, for example the recessed light retrofits. I have some hallways where I really want to use a particular flush looking light but it has >100W equiv bulb output and I wanted ~75W equiv. Well with this model dimmer you can set the MAX and MIN. That lets me have my hall light with a narrow dim range, so minimum is enough light to see and max isn't blinding.The price is a little high relative to no-name brands but the features and quality make up for it. I'm frugal but this isn't a place to save $3-$5, considering fire risk, and if nothing else your time to install...or worse yet paying someone to install them.

I had a previous dimmer on that was flickering my light fixture, as I have 18, 60W LEDs with the equivalent of 164 normal watts. So the old 150W dimmer was not cutting the mustard. I put this thing in, super easy and it works perfectly. I love the little LED light on the switch at night as well!

I've bought and installed many of these for use in my home. Useful for both 3 way and single operations. Operates smoothly, quietly, and without flicker. Be sure to make corrections as it can be damaged if not properly connected.

Our townhouse we rent was not built with dimmer dimmers on any of the lights. We added these well built switches to our kitchen and living room areas, along with 2 of our bathrooms and the upstairs common area. Easy install (with some minor knowledge of electrical circuits and a multimeter) and setup. They work great with all of our LED can lights, as well as the bathrooms after a swap out of the standard bulbs with some that were "dimmable." Well worth the cost to now have full control of our lighting. 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I bought 2 of these dimmer switches, both for installation in a 3-switch box, both single pole. I got the first one because it was not as wide as other brands and there wasn’t a lot of room in the box - it fit perfectly. I watched the YouTube video for installation and it was a breeze. Some of the reviews here make the settings and the installation sound complicated, but it isn’t. One of my installations is for LED bulbs, the other for incandescent, and both worked right out of the box. There is a tiny green light in the handle called a locator light that is a nice feature. All you have to do is turn the LOC switch to on. I’ll update the review if there are any problems, but for now 5 stars!

As far as I’m concerned anyone having an issue with dimming has either installed it improperly or is using low quality or outdated led bulbs. Dimming has more to do with the bulb itself rather than the dimmer anyway. Anyway, this dimmer is better than the Lutron one because it is narrower for multi gang installations and has higher power ratings. It also uses micro switches and a microcontroller for dimming which allows it to have extremely smooth dimming and a nice fade on effect whereas the Lutron seems to use a more mechanical circuit design. This switch also has an optional glowing feature so it can be found in the dark. All of these benefits come at a lower cost which makes it a better choice. I’ve installed three next to each other in a multi gang box and they all tightly fit in the box. The switch works great out of the box with Sylvania TruWave bulbs and any other high quality dimmable bulb like Phillips Ultra Definition or WarmGlow bulbs. I have taken one star off because between the three I’ve ordered they all work properly but the switches have different stiffness between them. One of them felt really snappy and the other two were fairly stiff. Don’t worry about arcing though, because the mains doesn’t run through the mechanical parts of the switch.

Used it in the bathroom to make the vanity lights dim-able. I like the locator, it's a dim green. It was an easy swap, it fit into a three switch box with no issues. My installation was a normal one switch replacement. The instructions where good, French and Spanish instructions were also supplied. I like the programmable dimming feature, you can set the dimest value because some bulbs act oddly at very low voltage/ brightness levels. ...although as it worked out I didn't need to change the dimming value with the bulbs I used. It's nice that it works with incandescent/ LED or dimable CFLs. I'm using it with LED bulbs, 4 clear IKEA Ledare '50' watt equivalent bulbs to be precise (I like how they look). I was a bit concerned that I read that there is a noticeable turn on ramp. I reallly hated the older CFL bulbs that were dark for a noticeable time and then were on. This turns on pretty quickly at a dim level, so you notice that it's working, and then has a pleasantly quick smooth turn on ramp. Great product, if I need another dimable switch, this will be my choice.

Works great. This is the ONLY LED compatible dimmer with locator light that I have been able to find. Hard to find - not very popular? A shame. My previous, non-led dimmers have locator lights. I use these dimmers for my bathroom lighting so I don't need to choose between blinding myself with a bright light or stumbling through the dark.I wish there was a photo available of the locator light. I had to guess what it would look like - I'll try to post a picture when I get a chance. The locator is a dim green light which shows through the top portion of the toggle switch when the switch is off.The only complaint I have (well, two actually). 1) the LED lights only come on if the dimmer is set to 50% brightness. Once the light is on, it can be dimmed fully. It seems the LED needs a slight boost to kickstart it. 2) There is a noticeable delay between turning the light switch on and the light actually coming on ... maybe 250ms or so.Both problems can be overcome, I believe. It will just take some getting used to. My old dimmers could be left at dimmest setting and be turned on. I will probably get used to the startup delay. Both problems may just be inherent with using LEDs with AC power.One possible solution to problem 1 would be for the light switch to send out a pulse of power at 100% for 100ms or less, then reduce power to the dimmer setting. I do this in my electronics projects where I control an inductive load, like a fan, which requires some momentum to assist rotation below a certain threshold of power. This "kickstart" action is imperceptible to the user. Problem #2... I dunno, maybe a capacitor? This probably has more to do with the specific light bulb and the position of the AC power signal when the switch is flipped.At any rate, I'm slowly replacing my switches in my house to be LED compatible.
