Easy to wire, quality product. Be aware that the knob has a short shaft, however. In my case, the floor lamp in which I was installing this socket had a decorative housing in which the socket was set, and there was a one or two inch gap between the socket itself and this housing. The lamp manufacturer dealt with this by having a long knob on the existing socket which I was replacing. As a result, I had to construct an extension to the knob on this dimmer socket in order to fit through the lamp housing. If your lamp has a housing around the socket, be aware of the possibility that you will have to similarly fiddle with the knob to this dimmer, or construct an extension as I did.

I am using Philips dimmable standard LED replacement lightbulbs and replaced a three-way switch on an old lamp with one of these and it works great.

If you can use a screw driver and tighten wire nuts then you can install this dimmer into your table or floor lamps. We have several 3-way lamps (both table and floor) and I have changed them all over to this dimmer. 3-way bulbs are expensive and once you install this dimmer you can just install a 150w bulb and never have to purchase an expensive 3-way bulb again. And the life of the bulb is increased because of it being on a dimmer.

We wanted to replace our bedroom lamps with dimmable sockets. Finding exactly what I wanted was harder than I anticipated. Then I found these, and I was really excited to wire them up. These work well as dimmers, but the casing is a bit flimsy. For the price, I'd expected stronger sockets (like the ones I had to replace!), plus the dimmer knobs fall off often. They snap back on easily enough, but it's not fun to fumble around with a small knob in the dark when all I want to do is go to sleep.

I purchased this dimmer to replace an old dimmer switch that had failed. It installed very easily, and I especially like the fact that it has a definite "click" when you turn the switch all the way to off. Handles bulbs up to 150 watts, so it is great to adjust the amount of lighting from a little mood lighting all the way up to bright reading light.
