Leviton Toggle Slide Dimmer Switch for Dimmable LED, Halogen and Incandescent Bulbs, TSL06-1LW, White

I replaced switch because old one was over heating. But had an additional problem of Halogen lights occasionally blinking. Replaced switch. Now, not getting overheated, lights don't blink, all good. Who knew?

We did a kitchen renovation ten years ago and swapped out an old florescent fixture for 6 can lights. Recently, one by one, they started to fail. Of course, they don't make this model of light anymore, so we had to upgrade all of our fixtures to LEDs. The big problem now was that they were EXTREMELY bright, much brighter than the old can lights. I found this dimmer switch that would work on LEDs and ordered it. We put it in this weekend by ourselves. The instructions were straightforward, and the new switch fit right inside the three gang box. Got everything hooked up, and they all worked; even the other light switch on this 3 way circuit worked! The lights are now dimmed by about 50% and that works for us.

It is a very good dimming switch. The only reason I gave it a four is because the dimming slide on the side of the on/off seems of less quality than the rest of the switch. The slide in my opinion is not very hefty. Other then that I am quite pleased with it.

This switch works very well. I like the slide next to the switch which allows you to set the light intensity so every time you flip the switch it is at same brightness. The switch has a simple setup that lets the light have a smooth ramp start if you want. Last is the light in the switch that illuminates softly when the switch is in off position. I was impressed with the quality built into this dimmer switch.

TIGHT metal box. This is shallower and narrower than others. Gave me the room I needed and worked very well with no feedback with the LED lights. Works flawlessly.

Works great. Easy install

Easy to install. Good instructions. In the off position, the little green light is barely noticeable.

I have had two slide dimmers (the ones that fit normal, non-decora switch plates) for 20 years. I have three lights wired into a three-gang box, and I don't want to change to a decora switch plate. The older slide dimmers were wearing out, and over those years I've switched all the lights to LEDs. I bought two of these dimmers to replace them. Like I said, I have two banks of lights that these control, one is a set of four LED floods in the kitchen, and one is a fixture with three LED bulbs over the kitchen table. First, when you turn these on, there is a noticeable delay of one second before they switch on. Annoying, but I can live with it. The bulbs over the kitchen table have a full range of dimming, which is good, but they also flicker when I turn on or off the other set of lights in the kitchen, or when I adjust that other switch's dimmer. By flicker, I mean, they turn off for half a second and then back on. The other set of lights do not have a full range of dimming, and the range is actually worse than the dimmer it replaced. So, I know the bulbs can go dimmer, but with this new switch, they only go down to about 40% brightness. Not a tragedy, since these are the floods in the kitchen and I don't usually dim them lower anyway, but it's annoying to know I can't if I wanted to. As of this writing, I am not sure I'll actually keep them or return.

Had trouble finding a almond colour dimmer switch for our dining room. This was the perfect colour and my husband had no problems installing it. The little dimmer bar on the side works great. So happy that I now can dim my dining room lights.

Easy to install, works great, manual is clear, screws are color codded.

September 03-2018 (Labour Day)Mike here, from Bourget, Ontario CanadaBe advised, before I purchased this item, I FIRST telephone tech support at Leviton. Made absolutely sure this is what I REQUIRED to do 'the job'. One thing I was advised/cautioned about ... when using LED lights, the glow in the dark feature, if it the LED lights continues to glow (small amount of electricity always passing through), when the switch is in the "OFF" position; then you will need to turn the light time glow at the switch to the "OFF" position. And ... this is what happened, so I turned the glow in the dark feature at the switch to the "OFF" position.Other than that ... I couldn't be happier with the way this switch ... allows you to select your LED lights from a very soft light all the way to the highest bright when you switch the toggle switch from the "OFF" position to the "ON" position.The other 'feature', Leviton warranties this switch for 5 years!Mike

Replaces a failed dimmer switch of another brand. The switch has a built-in led that turns on when the switch is in the OFF position; no fumbling anound looking for the light switch. It has a very smooth dimmer with no flickering as the light intensity is adjusted.

This dimmer installs with older flip lightsand you don’t have to replace the switchplate .It’s easy, and fits easily . It’s perfect.
