Best Leviton TBI03-1LE 300W Incandescent Slide Control Tabletop Lamp Deals

Customer Ratings:

I purchased two for our bedside hanging lanterns and then purchased three more for tall floor lamps in the living room that required us getting up off the couch to turn on/off. These work great. I don't use fluorescent bulbs, so I've got all regular bulbs and don't have any problem with flickering and it does dim the full spectrum from bright to very dim. It's my understanding they have dimmable fluorescent bulbs out there (since the original fluorescent bulbs were not dimmable and would flicker). We really like them and have a neighbor and another friend that have purchased them as well after trying ours out.

I bought one of these at Home Depot. I have 4 vintage light bulbs hooked up to it that add up to some 250W. The unit does not overheat. Seems solidly built, the dimmer is smooth and gradual, and the wire to the control is long enough. At first I hooked 8 bulbs to this dimmer switch, and it overheated. Then I learned that dimmers don't actually "dim", they cut off the AC wave so that it only turns on at the top and bottom of the sine wave, flickering the lights 120 times a second, creating the illusion of dimmed lights. What this means is that the circuit still gets powered at the max amplitude of the wave (110/120 V) just not for as long, and so I had to add up the max wattage of the bulbs to calculate the load on this dimmer switch, not assume that it's drawing less voltage because it is dimmed. I hope that's useful to other people looking to exceed the load of this switch.

Leviton slide control dimmer is just as pictured. Great product. Green night light when it's off makes it easy to locate it in the dark or area not well lit. Smart investment and everyone should have a dimmer in the bedroom and livingroom! A+ deal.

Bought this as part of a repair on a floor lamp with broken slide control dimmer. Cut out the bad switch and added new plug on the end of the lamp cord, then plugged lamp cord into this unit and into the wall. Works just fine!

I bought this for the white LED lights in the Christmas tree, which were entirely too bright before. Problem solved! The cord is recommended for use with incandescent lights but I decided to try it with LEDs. The lights do have a buzz sound when dimmed but I don't find that to be unusual. You can't hear the buzzing much with the fan on, the TV on, etc. I will try to find a use for this throughout the year. The dimmer works well from high to low. Recommended purchase.
