Need one for every bathroom.

Super convenient as I can leave the exhaust fan on in the bathroom to finish drawing out humidity after a shower and not have to worry about coming back to turn it off later. I'm also a big fan of having my lights very dim when if I ever turn them on in the morning or evening.As easy to install as a regular 'dumb' switch.

Pros
  • ‎4.6 x 2.4 x 2.3 inches
Cons
  • Timer function may not work consistently

Nice dimmer/timer for my opinion

Nice integrated switch. Bought this to use with my Panasonic recessed fan/light. On delivery, realized the Panasonic unit was CFL. Note that this dimmer does NOT work with CFL bulbs. Had I read the instructions beforehand, I'd have known it. No big deal as I had another nearby incandescent fixture and swapped the circuits. This timer takes the remembering out of when to shut off the vent fan.

Pros
  • Perfect for use in homes, offices, and businesses
Cons
  • May not be covered under home insurance

Great dual switch for small space

I had trouble finding a switch that would work for our bathroom light and our bathroom fan without it being a double gang. This single gang fits perfectly into the space we have without having to modify the wall. of course, since it is Lutron, it is well made and fits with our other Lutron switches in the house. Very nice!

Pros
  • Easy to install - no need to rewire your lighting system
Cons
  • May need to be installed by a licensed electrician

Something is wrong with the electrical design

Received in 2 switches. LOVE the design and concept. Price was exceptional IF it worked. Unfort with regular bulbs there was a buzzing from the bulbs (3x60W) and it seemed like it couldn't deliver enough power to FAN with or without the lights on. SO switched to LEDs (3x15W), the switch itself buzzed with LEDs and the lights wouldn't turn all the way off. Dimming feature didn't work with LEDs properly even though these bulbs worked with other dimmers just fine. Poorly implemented product that…

Pros
  • ‎Mexico
Cons
  • May require professional installation

Great switch, but not CFL/LED compatible

After discovering that the three switches in our box were on two different circuits, we had to find a timer switch that worked with a double Decora switch.This worked great, we use it in our bathroom. That said, despite my protests, my boyfriend left the CFLs in both the fan light and the tub light. This switch doesn't work with CFL or LED, the lights will flicker when you use the switch. Once we replaced them with regular bulbs, the switch worked perfectly.We love these for managing the…

Pros
  • ‎satin
Cons
  • May not be intuitive to use

Works fine with incandescent

Works well as specified. Would be 5 stars if they offered this product to dim LED. That apparently is not available in this configuration (timer + dimer in single gang). Works fine with incandescent, intermittent flashing with LED at full light.

Pros
  • Reduces energy consumption and saves money on your energy bill
Cons
  • May not be capable of handling high wattage lights

Worked well for a remodeled bathroom where I only had .

Worked well for a remodeled bathroom where I only had room for a single outlet box to control the lights and put the fan on a timer.Note that this is built for incandescent light bulbs. I had two LED bulbs on the circuit initially and they wouldn't turn off due to a low residual current. I swapped one out for a traditional 65 watt incandescent flood light bulb to increase the resistance and it works perfectly now. I can't find a comparable product for LED bulbs so we will stick with this one.

Pros
  • ‎MA-L3T251-BL
Cons
  • May malfunction after prolonged use

Nice and easy to use

I used this in a bathroom that had previously had a paired switch (two single pole switches in a single standard sized outlet box) controlling a closet light and the shower fan. The bath has never has enough ventilation and I've long wanted a timer, so even though I installed a larger fan, I decided to put this in to time the fan, and let it dim the closet light for nighttime illumination.It works great. The timer has no trouble handling the current draw of the fan, and has a nice little…

Pros
  • Enhances the ambiance of any room
Cons
  • May not be worth the investment for some users

If you started out with a light and a switch, and you wanted a fan/light, combo, this is the thing to use at the switch end. You can dim the light and set the fan to a certain time to go off after you leave, or set it to stay on indefinitely, say if there was a spill, for example.

Pros
  • Has an easy-to-read LCD display
Cons
  • Limited warranty period

BE VERY SURE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH THIS

I purchased two of these switches AFTER talking to a Panasonic tech rep because I wanted to install them with a new bathroom vent fan FV 11VHL2. I gave Panasonic the specific switch model, and they said these would work. Well they DONT work for this. The dimmer part never shuts all the way off. The night light stays on very dim all the time, and the regular lights wont power up all the way. The timer part is not rated high enough to carry the load of a heater, which I knew, based on specs, but…

Pros
  • Works great… Took a little getting used to, but does exactly what we wanted and looks great too.
Cons
  • Not suitable for outdoor use

I will try to find a spot to use it it is a good idea.

This is not what I originally ordered,I wanted a simple double dimmer not timer. I will try to find a spot to use it it is a good idea.

Pros
  • Perfect for the bathroom, and any location where a space saver is needed
Cons
  • Timer function may be difficult to program

Great switch, don't use with LED bulbs.

The switch does exactly what I want, but takes some getting used to. I replaced a double switch, so it fit right where the old one was. The LED's are kinda dim, which you don't necessarily want them too bright.For me, the light switch is the top. I had recently switched all my bulbs to LEDs. DON'T USE LEDS WITH THIS SWITCH. We had to go back to incadesant bulbs. At first I wasn't sure the fan worked. I finally left it alone and it was fine.I haven't had mine long enough to possibly experience…

Pros
  • Dimmer Switches
Cons
  • May not match other home decor

it still flickers like it is trying to come on

When the light is off, it still flickers like it is trying to come on. It has been double and triple checked but the configuration is correct according to the instructions included. The fan that runs on the timer switch works great.

Pros
  • Increased convenience and energy savings
Cons
  • May not have a wide enough range for dimming

Exactly what I wanted for the bathroom!

I had limited space to work with, not just from the box (that can be replaced easily enough) but between the wall studs. This not only meets my need but far exceeds it.The dimmer works as expected. The light dims up and down as it turns on and off adds something nice and is not "gimmicky" like I thought it might be. Also helps with that blinding moment in the middle of the night or morning when you first flick on the light.The timer is fantastic for the fan, set it and forget it. It…

Pros
  • Aesthetically pleasing design enhances any décor
Cons
  • May not be sold in all retail locations

Works great for our bathroom light and exhaust fan

Works great for our bathroom light and exhaust fan. The dimmer is connected to an incandescent light (not sure if it will work with LED) and works great to provide a little light when you need some in the middle of the night or a lot during the day. Definitely would recommend if you are looking for a dimmer/fan timer switch. Easy hook up and great instructions.

Pros
  • Lutron is a well-known and trusted brand in the lighting industry
Cons
  • May be difficult to troubleshoot if there are issues

Every bathroom needs one of these!

Functional dimmer for light and timer for fan all in one place. Every bathroom needs one of these. The dimmer provides ability to use bathroom fan/light as a night light for toddlers or seniors. The fan timer is convenient for using after a shower to reduce mold and mildew growth in the bathroom.

Pros
  • Controls multiple light fixtures from a single switch
Cons
  • May not be recommended for homes with children or pets

Worth the money good for me

Does exactly what it is designed to do. I had heard somewhere that you should run your bathroom fan for three times the length of your shower.but i am out the door two minutes after my shower, hence a need for the timer. The light switch gradually brings the light up to full brightness, which seems easier on my eyes first thing in the morning.

Pros
  • Built-in timer helps to conserve energy and increase safety
Cons
  • May not be suitable for high humidity environments

Perfect bathroom fan timer for stacked switches!

Exactly what we needed! We have a bathroom with multiple stacked light switches and we wanted to install a timer for the bathroom fan. After a lot of searching for a fan timer that was designed for stacked switch. It was the only one I could find that met our needs (and I've taken classes on searching the web.really.) Install was easy! And, you can set a default time for the fan and default brightness for the light that are easily adjustable.

Pros
  • Only works with standard light bulbs... no leds or cfls. Looks very modern installed.
Cons
  • Not compatible with LED or CFL bulbs

Great switch for my opinion

Very good. Have Panasonic high efficiency bathroom fan on the timer. Had 3 vanity led lights on top dimmer switch and was having issues with the fan cutting on and off. Changed out one of the led bulbs to an incandescent bulb and now everything works great. You cannot just run led bulbs on this switch.

Pros
  • Offers fade-on and fade-off dimming for a smooth, gradual transition
Cons
  • May not be as effective in small rooms
