GE Single Pole Rotating Dimmer Switch, Rotate On/Off, Use with Dimmable LED, CFL, and Incandescent Bulbs, Includes Two Knob Colors, UL Listed, White/Light Almond, 18021

When I was a kid, I remember discovering the existence of dimmers, and thought they were amazing! But my dad said they were really expensive, and then you have to hire an electrician, so it's even more expensive. HE WAS SO WRONG! I don't have a lot of experience doing DIY electrical work, but I've installed a few light fixtures. This was MUCH easier to install. Of course, you do need to understand the basics of household electricity, but some YouTube videos ought to do the trick. This was not hard to install! I installed a very bright light fixture with lots of bare Edison bulbs over my kitchen table, and we found it blinding! A dimmer was the solution! Now we can have bright light when we want it for working on projects at the kitchen table, or much softer lighting at meals. I LOVE IT. It's easy to tap the knob to turn it on and off, and easy to twist the knob to adjust the brightness. There are much more expensive dimmers out there, but I can't imagine why you would want anything more complicated than this! I love that the design is very plain, so it doesn't draw attention to itself, and that it comes with two colors of knobs to make sure it matches your switchplate. FYI, you don't need a special switchplate! I was looking all over Amazon to find a specialty wall plate for a dimmer, but turns out, you just use a regular light switch cover plate, and the knob covers up the rectangular hole for the old light switch. I realized I had a lighting problem in my bedroom, too. I got bedside lamps and smart bulbs for them, so I could have softer lighting that didn't blind me when I laid down in bed, because the chandelier hanging in the center of the room DID blind me! So I ordered another of these dimmer switches, and installed it myself in a few minutes. PROBLEM SOLVED. Now I can dim the chandelier! Just be aware that not all LED bulbs are dimmable. The bulbs in my chandelier act up every now and then, flickering unpleasantly for about a minute. But then they stop. I will probably replace them sometime, but right now it's not enough of an annoyance. The bulbs in my dining fixture dim just fine, no problems. Since I didn't have dimmers when I purchased the bulbs, I didn't pay any attention to whether they're dimmable, but I will be paying attention to that from now on!

Very nice LED dimmer at good price. I was happy that you could set the brightness and push to turn off and on like the old style before LEDs. I have a couple other LED dimmers and each time you turn on you must rotate the knob all the way up and click all the way down to turn off.

I recently bought a chandelier which was very expensive and it didn’t come with the lightbulbs so I had to buy those and then it states that since there was 24 lightbulbs, you probably should have a dimmer switch so now I had to buy the single pole dimmer switch. Well, I installed the chandelier with the lightbulbs and then I changed out the switch. It was very easy to switch out. It was compatible with my chandelier and the wiring was easy to put together and it’s working great.

They're ok. On off not the best.

I installed this for a couple of LED lights in my kitchen. It was easy to install and seems to work fine. There is no flicker. It is a push-on push-off type of rotating dimmer.

Changed out myself. Very easy to follow instructions. Works well. Have had for a long time now. Use everyday. So far so good.

Great product arrived on time and on damage was as pictured and described would recommend others

Switch works fine, but sent me a push/on type not a rotate/on Switch.

Not actually a push button... need to rotate to turn on/off instead of pushing.

Terminal screw was stripped when it was received. Very cheap quality overall for a GE product.
