GE 3-Way Rotating Dimmer Switch, Push On/Off, Use with Dimmable LED, CFL, and Incandescent Bulbs, Includes Two Knob Colors, UL Listed, White/Light Almond, 18020

I used this to replace a 3 way light dimmer switch that I blew up when reinstalling a ceiling fan thatwas not installed properly. I had the Ends of the wires capped off but the wire had some insulation missing that I also had to repair. SWITCH was simple. But the Ceiling fan had to have the mounting box installed from the attic. We all know how much fun that was ! But in the end the fan is sturdy and the lighthas a 3 way with dimmer.

I do regular maintenance and upgrades to a few dozen rentals...and when a dimmer is called for (see-LED recessed fixtures), this is the one I go to everytime. Not the absolute cheapest available but ease of install and 100% reliability make the extra few bucks well worth it to me.Looks great, functions even better. No noise, no flicker, no problems.

Installed this in our primary bathroom, which has a light fixture that contains eight LED bulbs and can be too bright if you’re getting up to use the bathroom at night. The dimming function works smoothly, and the option to set a minimum brightness is useful. Just one minor gripe: The audible “click” you hear when turning the switch on is surprisingly loud, especially at night when the house is quiet.

Easy switch to install don’t use up much electric box space and believe me my house has those nailed in ones yes 10p nails right through the box uggg nifty 50s lol the switch fit perfectly with room to spare too easy to use yes your right nothings perfect there is a half second delay not instant on has a relay and compositor in it so it can dim those led bulbs and no flickering or self shut down from over heating as with other brands Ugg I used Philips led dimmable bulbs 2~60w equivalent sram to be a good pairing oh this switch must be properly grounded had to find and dig out those bare wires Ugg to save time they used to twist them together behind the box the only hard part for me

Fixes led flicker 100%

What can I say? It turns the lights on and off. With the built in dimmer slide it dims the lights. What an amazing concept. A light switch that works as expected.

This switch does a really good job of dimming the old time hunter fans and lights. And, once you get them to that perfect brightness, just push it to turn things off or back on again. It remembers where the lights were dimmed, so they come back on at that same brightness.

I bought this item because I thought General Electric products are generally well designed. This particular item is not up to usual GE design standards.There are four things I dislike about this product, which replaces an old dimmer switch that's been there for years, which has begun to produce flickering light. The four things I dislike are as follows:[1] The post that the dimmer knob plugs onto is too long. As a result there is too much gap between face plate and dimmer knob, which looks bad.[2] Unlike the dimmer switch this replaces, you cannot screw a standard faceplate with a rectangular slot flush with the wall, which looks terrible. This is because of poor design. At the base of the post that holds the dimmer control knob there is a 19/32" retaining nut which is too wide to pass through the 17/32" width of the slot of a standard face plate. As a result the faceplate stands away from the wall with about a 1/8" gap. Which looks terrible. The previous rotary switch did not have this problem. Replacing the original plate with one with a circular hole had one problem: the original was a special custom plate that cost a lot, carefully matched to the decor.[3] The dimmer switch it replaces was able to dim from zero light to full power. This dimmer switch will not dim to zero. Maybe this is a necessary safety feature ? Or is it just careless design ?[4] The wire ends you connect to the power wires are soft braided multistrand wire not stiff enough to work well with the stiff copper wire coming from the wall, when you twist on the wire connector nuts.Because of problems [1] and [2], I found installation a real hassle. and so am awarding just one star.I hate to think of spending time returning this frustrating product and hoping that the replacement will be as good as the old switch I am replacing.Overall a bad experience.
