If you don't need a dimmer control, we highly recommend using the on-off control, instead of the dimming contol. There is a reason for our recommendation. Back when we were testing the dimmer device, we plugged a 900 watt heater into the device. Our thought was to conrol the heat coming out of the heater with the dimmer control. We promptly burned out the control. Why? Because this control has a 300 watt maximum rating. The on-off control is rated at 1800 watts.

There's another reason we shy away from the dimmer, in favor of the on-off, this dimmer will not control fluorescent lights. The new curly-cew fluorescent bulbs need the on-off control to operate properly.

If you are not using preset dim levels, and adjust the light brightnes each time you turn the light on with a secondary remote control, there appears to be a lag from when you hold the button down, until the light comes on. That's really not the case, it's the way the dimmer control operates. If you hold the button down, the light gradually builds in brightness.

Having said all that, if you'd like to dim the lights in your bedroom to different levels depending on your mood, and you use the control properly, this is the best dimmming control we've found on the market.
