I've had two of the Leviton 6151 lamp dimmers for many years. One of has been in daily service for over 20 years. It can dim a bulb down to less than a candle, just a few watts. The appearance matches that used in vintage lamps.

Great product! Even though we used a 3-way bulb in the table lamp in the TV room, there are many times, during a movie for example, that we wanted the lighting lower than what the bulb would allow. I knew there had to be a product like this so, after going to numerous big box stores and even two lighting specialty stores and not finding it, I looked on Amazon. Really regret not doing that first because, within a couple of minutes, I had it ordered and, within two days, we received it. It only takes about five minutes to install . We can now have lighting from as dim as a nightlight to as bright as the bulb will go, and anywhere in between! We both highly recommend it!

When I first installed it it worked great with a Philips dimmable LED light.

After a while, it didn't really "dim" the light it was mostly off until the knob was turned almost all the way on.

Finally, it started crackling when it was turning on and would only come on when the knob was all the way on and I had to jiggle it. When I jiggle it, I can smell the arcing. I'm pretty sure the variable resistor has died (I checked the my wiring no shorts and no loose wires...

It's gotten annoying and possibly dangerous time to replace it with something else!

Honest reviews on Leviton 805-6151 Dimmer Socket

I had purchased a pair of these socket-dimmers many years ago (easily 14 years) and absolutely love them..still. I originally found them in a wholesale electrical supply shop, and had never seen them around in many years. I've installed my new ones on a different pair of lamps. I highly recoemmend them...full range dimmer turns like "butter".

We have about 4 or 5 of these on lamps. They last a long time but do seem to fail now and then. A local lamp repair shop was the only other place I could find these. Also,these seem to be unique as I could not find a similar item in another brand. Only game in town, what can you do?
