Follow instructions

I used 3 of these for two lamps. We had a power surge that destroyed the module. I connected the first flashlight the same way the original was connected, plugged it in and heard a horrible popping sound. Garbage. Second, I followed the instructions. Ideal. So I made the second light according to the instructions and everything went perfectly. Very satisfied with the product. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Works better than the original touch dimmer

Pretty easy to install. The included wire nuts are a bit small, but they do the trick. Note the wiring diagram stamped on the dimmer cover - it looks almost identical to the failed legacy unit (in a lamp bought 20 years ago!) but the color coding is slightly different and the wire order is retained. - right on the device differs from the original device. But just pay attention to the details and everything will work fine. This device works better than the old one - and it has a slight "boost"…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • -

This ruined my Baldwin lamp

I bought a nice brass Baldwin lamp with a standard on/off switch. Recently my 18 year old cat started having vision problems so I decided to install this dimmer to help him see and navigate around the bedroom at night. As a homeowner, I have 40 years of experience renovating/replacing lightbulbs and wired fixtures, so a direct cord to the controller and direct connection from it to the outlet has not given me any problems. As always, I followed the instructions and checked again. all before…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Expensive

Excellent replacement; just pay attention to the wiring

I dim 3 flame-shaped dimmable LEDs (originally there were 3 glow plugs in the lamp). I repaired the original dimmer in the lamp and accidentally got it. It was a stupid, thoughtless mistake. After that I found that the wiring of the original dimmer, especially the color of the wire insulation, did not match the new one. I ordered a second one, a new one, ignoring the original setup (wire colors etc) and wired according to the diagram. molded in Bakelite itself (there are also clear patterns on…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Vulgarity

3-way touch dimmer for incandescent and halogen lamps only

Easy to connect and use. I have installed 3 of these blocks in table and floor lamps and all 3 worked great when using incandescent bulbs at the time. The small size of the dimmer is a plus for limited space. Would recommend to a friend! Please note that this dimmer is actually only suitable for incandescent and halogen bulbs, not LED or energy efficient LED bulbs as stated on the Revain site. This is stated directly on the plastic body of the dimmer as shown in the picture. If you try to use…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

For INCANDED, NOT LED.

I wanted to use them to convert a pair of sensor lamps from incandescent to LED. When purchased they were described as suitable for use with LED bulbs. Not right. After unpacking, I clearly saw "Incandescent" written on the plastic case. Since they were so cheap I didn't send them back; I donated them to my local Habitat for Humanity site. NOTE TO OTHER REVIEWERS: Many correctly point out that wire colors do not conform to the US National Electrical Code. The US is not the whole world, however,

Pros
  • Excellent general characteristics
Cons
  • There are some nuances

It works with my LED bulbs from HomeDepot

Pro: It works with my LED bulbs I bought from HomeDepot - no flicker. Cons: The darkest level is too dark. It's a big leap to go from the most boring level to the second level. The wires are shorter than the original touch sensor. Maybe a piece of double sided tape to attach the box to the inside of the lamp base. "Screw Nuts" should be larger to cover multiple lugs; They are too small and probably the cheapest kind! They can be used for 2 small wire gauges like 14 gauge while the original lamp

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
