Cloudy Bay in Wall Dimmer Switch for LED Light/CFL/Incandescent,3-Way Single Pole Dimmable Slide,600 Watt max,Cover Plate Included

Guys, almost everyone who didn't give this 5 stars did so because the on/off switch is in the wrong position. However, it is a simple fix. There are two red wires in it. Once you've hooked up one, you're good to go. Instead, connect the other red wire and turn it on. That's all there is to it. For the United States, the directions are reversed. Don't wait to get your hands on this incredible switch. I now have 16 of them, and they all work flawlessly, with no buzzing, flickering, or anything other than smooth adjustment from high to low. Under-voltage is the most common cause of buzzing and flickering. supplying it with energy which can be easily adjusted with the dial to ensure that the minimum power it provides is just right for whatever you're powering. I'm willing to pay a little more for the best quality, and this, my friends, is it. I went through about 15 different ones before I came across this beauty. Please don't go through my pain. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please You will not be disappointed!.

I recently purchased a home with over 50 high-end appliances. hat lighting – Everything was ablaze. Every single one of them was replaced with a 75w equivalent LED dimmable retrofit hi-bay light. hats. It's just too much in some rooms, but the dimmers make everything perfect. I started with a two-pack of these dimmers because some of the reviews mentioned flickering and other issues, so I wanted to be sure before buying a bunch. I bought another ten pack after the first two switches worked perfectly. These are less than half the price of anything I can find locally, and they work better than any other dimmer I've tried (though I haven't used them extensively). This one stands out because it has the smallest light control wheel of all of them - It's also most likely the source of the "issues" I've read about in other reviews. Before you put the faceplate on, you use this wheel. Make a note of it and then leave it alone. When the dimmer is turned all the way down but not completely off, it sets the power for the minimum light. To get it right, you'll need to experiment a little (but trust me, it's not difficult). You'll discover that if you turn the light down until it's barely on and then flip the switch - When you turn it back on, you may find that there is insufficient power to turn the light on to the lowest setting. This wheel allows you to gradually increase the power until you reach a point where the light will always be on the lowest setting. I believe that some reviewers are making a mistake by failing to properly set this during installation, resulting in too little power on the minimum setting, and it may not always be on when turned all the way down. My other dimmers give me mixed results; some are on, while others are off, even though they are switched on. However, the volume was turned down to a minimum. I like how you can set the default minimum position, which I do. It will, however, consistently illuminate at the lowest setting. Make sure to click the switch on and off a few times after setting this wheel to ensure that it will come back on consistently. If it doesn't, simply move the wheel around a little and you should be fine. I also appreciate the fact that these have a screw-on back. faceplate is omitted My only problem is that most of my dimmers are in gang boxes, which means I can't use them: (br>br>I primarily use these with 6" Fein Retrofit 75W LED hi-bay lights. ) a pair of hats from Costco.

These appear to work well when connected to a separate circuit and controlling only one set of lights. I'll show you what I'm talking about. In my office, I recently installed six Cloudy Bay LED 4" lights, three of which are on one dimmer and three of which are on another, all of which are in the same box and are powered by the same circuit. I followed the instructions to the letter, first setting one dimmer with the (impedance) trimmer and then the other. When only one light is turned on (at any dimmer setting), it is stable and does not flicker. If you have both on and at different brightness levels, they will fight and flicker unless you can get them to match the same brightness level. For the time being, they get three stars because I haven't had any problems with Lutron (3 in the same gang box, same circuit - no issue! ) or similar brands, as they are more likely to filter the incoming air better and thus avoid this. br>br>I believe this is a "5-star" product. If you only use one at a time, get a "star" rated dimmer, and I'll be ordering more for that purpose. I'll also make sure they're used on two different circuits to avoid any cross-contamination. There's a conversation going on between the dimmers. br>br>Updated on 7/17: br>I'll be returning these dimmers because there was excessive flicker even when I was using one of them with their own lights! I'm not sure if it was a bad batch or what, but the other one appears to be fine. I returned to the Lutron Diva C- L because they've always worked for me and I've never had any problems with them. Although it is more expensive, you do get what you pay for! br>br>7/30- br>br>br>br>br>br>br> br>Today I went to Amazon to return them. "Sorry, you've gone over the return period by one day," I was told. Dimmers that aren't up to snuff. Simply purchase Lutron dimmers to avoid any headaches in the event that you receive a faulty one.

According to the reviews for this switch, "up is down and down is up" - This statement is incorrect. As long as you don't install it backwards, it functions like any other switch. The dimmer portion of the switch is located on the BOTTOM of the switch, not the TOP. This switch serves two purposes in my home: one for Torchstar recessed LED lighting and the other for an IKEA LED light. They both work flawlessly, with no buzzing or dimming. I'm not sure why so many people put it together backwards when the instructions and pictures clearly show how to do so.
