Easy to install but may have issues
It buzzes a little and sometimes one or two bulbs flicker, but it's probably because I have two light fixtures with 6 bulbs each. It was easy to install and looks nice

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.

I do rate BG Electrical kit.
I am impressed with BG Electrical products; I have systematically replaced all light switches & sockets in our home with these, in both brushed silver and gold, as befits the room. This dimmer is a good switch, well made with a strong lacquer finish it has withstood the family switching it on and off for some months, untarnished. It comes with two decent fixing screws and easy to use connector terminals. I do rate BG Electrical kit.

A solid, budget-friendly dimmer upgrade for rental spaces
I picked this up as a relatively inexpensive way to upgrade the lighting in my rented room, and overall, it’s a decent product. While it might not feel like an "amazing" high-end luxury fixture, the brushed steel finish looks significantly better than the standard plastic switches typically found in rentals. It provides a much-needed level of control over the room's atmosphere, and for the price point, the performance is exactly what I expected. If you are looking for a cost-effective, aesthetic improvement that gets the job done without a massive investment, this is a very solid choice.

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.

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.
