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.

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.

Works. Mounted right up. Has a slow fade in when first switched on rather than the instant on switch I used to have prior. Works fine, just different.

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

Great little summer, and I like the fact you can keep a dimness level set when you turn on and off. The only issue I have is that I have the switch hooked up to 3 Maxxima 6" thin LED ceiling lights, while it works very well, no flicker or anything, it dims them very well; it's just that last 3rd of sliding the dimmer to the lowest setting (which works fine and perfect) it will not turn on at that lower setting. Once I slide it past halfway to full, it works fine in and off.It's a minor thing, and I think it it's because its connected to very low power LEDS, so not really an issue since the dimmer works fine, it's just the in at the lowest display setting not working, but again works fine as soon as you slide it up.

Fixes led flicker 100%

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.

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.
