esteticamente....molto bello
Non ho ancora messo in funzione il pulsante, la valutazione che però posso anticipare riguarda la sua fattezza ed estetica. il materiale è di buona qualità, la satinatura lo rende bello al tatto e visivamente si caratterizza come un prodotto originale "stile retrò" come piace a me. sintesi: tornerò a commentarlo una volta che sarà operativo, per ora posso solo dire che è veramente bello.

Reliable switch
I’ve had this light switch for approximately 4 years and have had no issues whatsoever. It dims the lights smoothly with no flicker or noise, and has remained reliable throughout. I was recently changing the light switches in my bedroom and initially bought another brand, which was unfortunately more expensive and not as good in performance. After returning it, I came back to this one instead, as it has consistently proven to be the better choice.

PERFECTO si sabes que regula potencias de entre 60w y 400w máximo.
Esteticamente perfecto. Funcionalmente, si sabes leer sus especificaciones, también perfecto. Cómo bien indica su descripción, este interruptor regulable, regula potencias entre 60w y 400w. Tiene un regulador interno con el que poder jugar para ajustar más la potencia, en caso de que le conectes potencias inferiores, pero no está pensado para conectar una bombilla led individual. Normalmente las marcas informan mal sobre este dato, pero este no es el caso. Los que se quejan de que sus bombillas Led no se las regula, deberían mirar que potencia regula este interruptor (entre 60w y 400w) y que potencia tienen sus bombillas (si han cocentado 2 bombillas led, me temo que rondaran una potencia sobre 6/8w). Para esos casos hay reguladores que indican que regulan potencias entre 5w y 75w. Esas potencias que indica son las máximas, es decir, en mi caso he conectado una bombilla edison de 60w. He regulado el regulador interno al mínimo, y como se ve en el video, la regulación es PERFECTA. Puedo ir desde potencia máxima, hasta una potencia tan ínfima que sólo se ve el filamento rojo sin dar nada de luz, incluso si bajo más el regulador no tiene potencia ni para eso. Si buscas un regulador para bombillas led, y lo que tienes son varios focos Led (downlight) que en total suman unos 30w/40w, te hará un trabajo decente, si piensas conectar bombillas Led, que sumen en total menos de 25w, te hará un trabajo deficiente aunque seguramente quedes contento,y si lo piensas usar para una o 2 bombillas que sumen 4/6w, directamente no te regulará nada. Por cierto, si calculas esas potencias por lo que te diga la tienda, ten en cuenta que o la bombilla es de marca reconocida (philis, osram...), o todas las bombillas mienten. Yo tengo un medidor de potencia real de bombillas y las bombillas de aliexpress que compraba antes suelen tener la mitad de la potencia que anuncia el vendedor, lo aviso para el que quiera calcular que regulador necesita.

Easy to use dimmer switch
I had to buy this dimmer switch after I changed the light on my lounge ceiling and found the bulbs were too bright. As the bulbs were dimmable it made sense to get a dimmer switch.. It is a lovely brushed steel which matches my other light switches. I'm disabled and in a wheelchair, I've limited hand dexterity and as I found the switch that was already on the wall easy to use I was wary of changing it. It was very easy to install, my brother in law swapped the switches in a matter of minutes.. My right hand is my dominant hand so I've to reverse into the lounge to switch the light on. I found this switch very easy to use. I have my light switches at a lower level than normal so i can reach them. With this dimmer switch I just push the button to switch it on then turn the knob to the right to brighten it, then turn it back to dim it. Then I push the knob to make sure the light is definitely off. I've found this switch to be good value for money, it's easy to use and I can have my light at just the right brightness now It has a good range of brightness, though I suppose it depends on what type of bulb you use. My bulbs are E27 and they cast a beautiful light over the ceiling when on full power.

Slow start but works well
Slow to start for some reason - this was a direct replacement for the same unit previously installed.
