Good quality, but wouldn't buy another

Great build quality, but I'm not a huge fan of the auto calibration feature because the lights don't dim as much as I'd like for them to.
You can manually override it, but it resets back to auto calibration if there's a power outage.
Also, in a couple of the fixtures that I have this hooked up to, the LED lights that I have flicker when it's on about 1/2 power.
I wouldn't buy this again and would opt for a Lutron instead.

The gold standard of Decora dimmers

I can't recommend these switches enough, their only caveat being that they require a neutral connection in addition to the hot, ground and load connections. For the tentative/amateur electrician, attaching one more wire to complete the job might be a (seeming) challenge, but for anyone who's done any real amount of electrical work it's just as easy to attach as any other device out there. Where there's a difference is that the switch just FEELS expensive. The dimmer doesn't move without first slowly engaging, and then confidently moves across it's range. It's surprising, but spending a few bucks makes all the difference in terms of what a luxurious house can literally, tangibly feel like. Big fan of Legrand and Pass now and ended up replacing ALL the relevant dimmer switches with these.

I bought a house a few months ago and I bought 5 of these dimmer switches to replace regular conventional switches. So far I have replaced 3 switches and only one of the 1 switches didn't work as advertised.
I believe it had to do with the Altair light that I bought. It said that it could be used with a dimmer switch but in the fine print its finicky which dimmer switches it can be used with.
For the price is great but I'm still on the fence if I would recommend this product but I say yes for the value.

Much better than the cheaper Cooper switches I've picked up on the web; these switches suppress the impulse on turn-on that seems to cause LED bulbs to flare up, then settle back down to the dimmed setting when switched on from an off state. Switch portion is huge and easy to use, and the dimmer portion is damped nicely and yet still easy to dial to the correct light level. Fantastic design and execution.

I have bought many other Pass & Seymour products and have faith in their quality. This product did not disappoint, it has 3 colors of face plate and dimmer is compatible with all types of bulbs. Highly recommended!

I upgraded from an old flipper switch, so this was much better than what I had. However, I was lucky that the existing box had the neutral wire available. This dimmer requires you to connect the neutral wire to the switch.

Not as pictured

What you receive is not actually the switch pictured. You'll receive an older version with the dimmer slide bar being a different texture/form. It's still a quality product, but not the same as what's pictured.

Horrible Product

Returned this product immediately. Product does not install correctly, even after a certified electrician tried working with this item. He said this was the worst switch he had ever worked with. Instructions and YouTube videos still didn't help. Product didn't function as advertised. Returned to Best Buy as defective.

I am a DIYer, but I've installed many electrical switches. I could not get this to "program" and work on my led lights. Perhaps I got a defective one, but this did not work for me.

Truly a universal dimmer. The switch seems to regulate itself with whatever type of fixture you are using (LED, Fluorescent, incandescent) without flicker.
Great price versus Lowe's and Home Depot.
