Adds great features!

Light bulbs that aren't too bright are very hard to find. Especially with the influx of LEDs. Everything is too bright at night for normal purposes. I remembered such devices before, but couldn't find anything comparable in the store anymore. I do NOT need an additional dimmer on the secondary wire from the plug (which works for SOME applications), but it's about the only other solution I could find at the store. So off to Revane! Works perfectly. We tested it with an incandescent bulb and an…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Safety

Don't expect great results from LED bulbs

Not as good as I expected. I read the reviews before buying and I expected a better result than I received. Usually some of the worst reviews on Amazon are user error or a misunderstanding of the products purchased. So I'm skeptical about them. In this case. I am using LED bulbs, they are listed as dimmable. This transformer socket dimmer dimmed the light of the lamp, but still caused a very annoying "flickering" of the light at a certain point when the rotary control was adjusted. If you turn…

Pros
  • For standard incandescent bulbs up to 150W
Cons
  • Not sure

Works, but there are limitations.

Does not fit in tall table lamps that require a harp. This applies to molded CFL lamps. A new LED that looks like a lightbulb might fit the socket just fine, but be absolutely sure the lightbulb is dimmable, if it's not dimmable it won't work. I tried it on a few other lamps and they were small table lamps that pushed the tip of the bulb slightly over the edge of the lampshade making it ridiculous. Please consider if you intend to place them on one floor. Lamp or table lamp, you have to make…

Best use triac design in bulbs

I bought one of these to try on my bulbs. I use 60w incandescent bulbs because LEDs tire my eyes and blue light is the problem. I also set my computer, phone etc to dim at nightfall to reduce LED glare. For this purpose, Windows 10 has a program called Night Light that gives the screen a yellow tint to block out blue light. This dimmer is based on triacs so they don't get hot like rheostat dimmers. I install a dimmer and leave it there. I use a regular lamp switch to turn the lamp on and off…

Pros
  • only use dimmable bulbs
Cons
  • not reliable
