You need to know that these type of dimmers will eventually fail. You will know when the switch turns on/off but doesn't dim. What causes this? Everyday stuff: A light bulb going out, spikes in power. Just keep that in mind when you get this.

These are simple, durable, and work. After going through a bunch of noisy or poorly built dimmers I've settled on these and have several that have held up to daily use for years now.

Do note these get fairly warm. I would make sure to leave them out in a well-ventilated area. Definitely don't cover this in pillows, blankets, or paper goods. This goes for most any dimmer, if you know how dimmers work, and why they tend to get warm (or very hot).

Other than that this is a highly recommended piece of goods for the price.

Update: Have had two fail. The first @around 3 years, and the second at just over 2 years of use. I am ordering two more. I can spare < $5/year for a quiet dimmer that works. It is cheap plastic, and not built to last.

If I could figure out who makes Holtkoetter's floor slide-dimmer those are the best I have ever owned. I have one almost 20 years old still going, perfect. You might try a lighting store that carries Holtkoetter. But IIRC they aren't cheap. Haven't found anything comparable in a cheap dimmer, so I'll stick with these for now.

Have only been using this for a few days. Hooked it up yesterday to new bulb. No problems using different settings. Bulb doesn't flicker at all even at the dimmest. No hum. The tiny light on it is nice in the dark. Stays on all the time funny it goes dimmer the brighter the light is on. No problems like I read about with other ones. Price is good. Will see how it holds up and post if problem in future.

Honest reviews on Westek 4010W 300W Full Range Table Top Slide Control Dimmer, White

I have this dimmer hooked to two prairie style lamps in the living room, each of which has two 60w bulbs. Total 240w. The dimmer will bring them down below the level of candlelight. Excellent when watching a movie on TV.

After several hours of use the dimmer feels slightly warm to the touch. No surprise and no problem there: A dimmer is a rheostat, which regulates resistance. More resistance > less voltage > more heat. Perfectly normal and causes no problems. Some dimmers are noisy; this one is as silent as a tomb.

It's a good product. Now that I've tried it, I'll get one or two more for other lights.

After reading reviews of other dimmers I was concerned that it would have a buzzing sound, and disturb my sleep. This one however is completely silent and it works perfectly for the icicle lights hanging up in my room. Great product.
