Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It's thicker with a snap-on plate, so it looks different. Be sure to use a wire tester and make sure that there is no power before removing the old switch and then installing the new one.



Cons

Amazon advertises the switch as a new switch. Can't say much about a non working open box item. The web is full of people complaining in frustration with these things.

Switch does not really dim - two thirds of the dimmer has no effect. Ecosmart 25 watt eq bulbs flicker with this switch. It seems designed for an incandescent bulb.

Third issue - switch faceplate is loose. On and off toggle switch was stuck in the on position. They also hum! The paddle is not silent when turned on/off.

It is pre-wired.

    I do not care for touch screens or everything being “smart”


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They works but the lights bulb has to be dimmable or won’t work at all


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    By convention single way switches operate so that one presses the toggle on top to turn the light on and on the bottom to turn it off

    I used the user message board to see how to fix this even though i knew what to do from experience
