Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm happy with this switch. The other products I've seen either can't do low power (I use it for my 13W CFL porchlight), have a janky door covering the controls, or look like they're from the 70's.
It has a nice large switch to override the current value. One thing I didn't realize when I bought it is that the blue backlight is always on, although it looks nice so it doesn't bother me.
Before installation I measured the power consumption. It consumes 0.3W when off, and 0.9W when on (with no load). This seems quite reasonable; it does not get warm at all which was one of my concerns.
