Decora 600-Watt Single-Pole/3-Way Universal Rocker Slide Dimmer, White/Light Almond

Have had 4 of these break after 1 year. The replaceable cover either breaks at the edges, at the clips that hold it in place, or at the slider. Leviton support agreed to replace them but never did. All of my requests for follow-up went unanswered.

Recently decided to change out all of the old style plugs and switches in the house for Decora style and super happy with the results. Lots of helpful videos online for any questions that came up during installation. One thing to keep in mind is that if you are installing these in a 3-way configuration, only one of the switches can be a dimmer. Love that they are compatible with both incandescent and LED bulbs. Convenient quick-wire push-in option for installation.

I previously bought 2 Leviton Diva dinner switches. One broke on the frame and the other stopped working - would not switch on and off. They were less than 3 years old. These seem to be a bit more robust. They don’t dim all the way off when dimmed at the lowest setting. Not a big deal - guess that’s what a dimmer switch does. Seems to work with the LED chandelier well that we bought from Home Depot as well.

This Leviton dimmer works as well as all of the Leviton dimmers I have. No buzz or flicker. Just alway make sure you have a good ground as that is what appears to always fix any buzz or flicker I run into. The main difference with this dimmer is the color. It is light grey. I use this color in my garage workshop as it looks a little more industrial. Just so you can see the color difference I put it in a white outlet cover for the picture.

I have bought Leviton 300-Watt Decora Slide Dimmer for Dimmable LED 600-Watt Incandescent/Halogen, Light Gray, White/Ivory/Light Almond, to use fr my new LED light that I have installed all over my house. This was the right choice as it's work great and looks great. It is easy to install it as all the instruction are included, and it is also work great with my 3 way switch.

Before purchasing and starting the install, make sure to understand your home's 3-way switch architecture. How the wires are set up will have an impact on which wires are connected to the common and traveler terminals. Having purchased my house with the three-way switches already in place, it took a large chunk of the effort and time to figure out and verify the wiring architecture for my system, especially by opening up the other switch to verify which wires were the travelers versus the ones going to the lights. Once I verified the wiring architecture, the install probably took approximately 30-40 minutes (2 switches: Leviton rocker switches with and without dimmer), primarily to install and repack the stiff wires neatly. DON'T FORGET TO SHUT OFF THE BREAKER FOR THE SWITCH; THIS IS A FATAL SAFETY PREVENTATIVE! Once installed, the products worked well. The switch without the dimmer is an easy on/off with a solid click to ensure it is firmly in the on or off position. The switch with the dimmer worked just the same with the added benefit of a vertically sliding dimmer on the right hand side, which worked great. In addition, I received the matching switch plate coverings, which look very crisp and modern. However, my setup includes 3 switches including a variable fan switch so I couldn't install the switch plates. I have ordered the right part from Leviton so I expect it will look great when it arrives. One caveat I have with this specific model is that the gray doesn't match perfectly with my family room. It doesn't look bad but I would recommend planning out your color coordination to make sure you get the right color switch.

I like that the slide dimmer is separate from the on and off so if you like your lighting at a particular level once you set it, it be at that level every time you turn the lights on. I am old school and do not like using the "Quick Wire Push-in" as I just do not believe it is a good secure positive connection and like this dimmer did not have it. It has a screw clamp that securely holds the wire with a good positive connection. Terminals are clearly identified for easy single pole or 3-way installation. The hidden screw face place makes for a neat appearance.

LEVITON 300-WATT DECORA SLIDE DIMMER FOR DIMMABLE LED 600-WATT INCANDESCENT/HALOGEN, LIGHT GRAY This was an interesting experience. We installed a new fixture in a bedroom a while ago and agreed that it was too bright. When the opportunity came to review this dimmer, I jumped at the chance, we both remembered that the fixture came with dimmable LED bulbs. Well, we were wrong. I can tell you that non-dimmable LEDs do not like dimmer switches. I replaced the bulbs with dimmable bulbs and we now have the desired effect. When our Daughter and son-in-law come for a visit, we won’t blind them. The switch is quite large so I wrapped electrical tape around it for a little added safety before installing it in the existing small switch box. The screw less wall plate looks nice but was difficult to install, the screws used to install the mounting plate were very short which made them difficult to get lined up. When installing the mounting leave the first screw very lose until the second one is started then tighten both. An additional 1/8-inch longer screw would solve this.

This dimmer is great. It can be used in a single switch installation as well as a two switch installation. Chances are this dimmer will work in your installation. I am using it to control some recessed lighting. It's nice that a dimming level can be preset on the slide and then the lights switched on and off without affecting the preset level. This dimmer fit into the box easily during installation. The gray color is on trend right now and my teenage daughter is happy with the look.

I installed this Leviton decora sliding dimmer switch in my home office after I updated the room lighting to LED lights and it then became overpoweringly bright. I loved the “cool” 5K look of the light but needed a dimmer to adjust the light output. I installed this light switch with little knowledge of electrical it was that easy. It works great and in the gray color it matches my gray walls almost perfect! I have Leviton throughout my whole house!
