I live in an apartment. That means that my landlord doesn't really like me to put on an electrician hat to make my hovel more habitable. That also means that I am not installing a dimmer switch to increase the ambiance for nocturnal adventures. What is a bachelor to do? Well, you buy this thing! Everything you like about a dimmer switch without turning off the breaker box and pulling out the screw driver set.

I have started switching from CFL to dimmable LED lights and this dimmer is perfect.

There is no flicker and the quality of light from LED bulbs is better (to me) than incandescent. LEDs beat CFL up one side and down the other in every way including quality of light. I never had an issue with CFL but LED is sooo much better.

This dimmer will work with dimmable CFLs but they do have a habit of buzzing (very dependent on the individual bulb).

I have two LEDs plugged into one of these, one 2.5W in a table lamp and one 8W in an uplight and they both dim from full brightness to barely-there levels; absolutely perfect for a TV room.

Highly recommended product.

I bought this to use with a dimmable LED PAR20 bulb from Lighting Science (sold as Home Depot 866623) that I put in my reading lamp. Initially I was using my old incandescent dimmer, which worked well to dim, but caused the bulb to make a loud buzz, even at full brightness, that it didn't make when plugged directly into the wall. I bought this Lutron dimmer hoping it wouldn't cause the bulb to make noise, but the identical buzz is still there. Still, I can't really fault the dimmer, because maybe it's the bulb's fault it makes noise. But don't expect this dimmer to fix a buzzing bulb.

This dimmer is quite well constructed, and I generally think highly of Lutron products, but I have to take a star off because the dimming range is restricted. That old incandescent dimmer goes much lower than the Lutron. I'm sure Lutron designed it this way on purpose in order that the bulb would always start and never extinguish, but I notice that their in-wall dimmers have a dimming range adjustment, and this one should have it too.

Honest reviews on Lutron TTCL-100H-WH Credenza Dimmable CFL/LED Dimmer, White

Product came fully functional and clean.

I purchased this because I wanted an dimmable desk lamp that was energy efficient. Based on other reviews, it seemed that dimmable CCFL (fluorescent) bulbs could sometimes buzz or flicker, so LED seemed the way to go even though it may be a bit more expensive. I paired this device with a cheap desk lamp and a Cree dimmable bulb. The Lutron dimmer works very well without making noise or causing flickering (although this may also be caused by your bulb. The light couldn't go as dim as I liked, but was still pretty good. I would say about 25-35% of full brightness.

I also happened to measure voltage out of the device if anyone cares. My utility voltage is 118V. At max brightness the dimmer outputted 105V and at minimum brightness it outputted 15V (AC of course).

I would purchase this device again if I ever needed another one.

Update: After taking a close listen, the device does cause a slight buzz regardless of whether it's dimmed on not when on the device. The buzz is not there when connecting the lamp directly to the wall socket. However, it is pretty faint. I could only hear it when the room is quiet and I am directly in front of the bulb (within a 1-2 feet).

I measured wattage using the P3 Kill-a-watt. For my 9watt Cree bulb, at full dim it measured 2 watts.

I bought this dimmer to dim the Kobi Electric 07166 LED-AR-13W800-50 Dimmable LED Light Bulb I bought here on Amazon, which I am using in a desk lamp. The Kobi led bulb is very bright, so I bought this switch expecting it to dim the bulb from full brightness to off, and everything in between. I hoped to be able to use the lamp at full brightness for paper work, then all the way down to nearly off for ambient lighting while using the computer.

Unfortunately this dimmer switch only dims to about 1/2 full brightness and then turns off. If my 13 watt led is as bright as a 75 watt incandescent bulb, then this switch only dims it down to about a 40 watt. After that it turns off. On the plus side there is no buzzing and the light is completely off when turned off.
