From the Manufacturer

Due to continuing product development, the product you receive may look slightly different than the one displayed. Dimmer Controls are a convenient way to select just the right amount of light needed. They can create a mood from night light to full brightness while also saving money by eliminating the need for expensive 3-way bulbs.

Simple screw bulb into dimmer and dimmer into socket.

Instructions:
1. Turn on your lamp (2nd position on 3-way sockets).
2. Unplug the lamp, remove the shade and bulb.
3. Screw the dimmer firmly into your lamp socket.
4. Install an ordinary one-way light bulb, even in a 3-way socket.
5. Plug the lamp into a wall outlet, wait a moment and touch any metal portion of your lamp to select desired light level. 1st touch-NIGHT LIGHT; 2nd touch-MEDIUM, for normal room light; 3rd touch-HIGH full brightness for reading; 4th touch-OFF.
For use with any metal socket lamp.

CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED LAMP WATTAGE USED ON END PRODUCT (LAMP FIXTURE).
Note: Do not use this dimmer control with another dimmer in the same circuit.”

Customers like the ease of installation of the touch control lamp. They say it's easy to install and use, with easy to follow directions. The socket installs easily and there was no problem screwing it in. The touch controls make difficult lamps much easier to turn on, making life simpler for those with mobility issues. However, it is not 3-way.

Customers are mixed about the performance of the switch. Some mention that it works well, while others say that it simply refused to work. It works perfectly with incandescent bulbs, and is simple to use. However, some customers report that the switch stopped working after a few months, and that the functionality falls short with LED bulbs.

Customers are mixed about the value of the home lighting accessory. Some mention it's an excellent product reasonably priced, worth it, and a great buy. Others say that it'd be a loss of money, cheap, and too expensive to last.

Customers are mixed about the brightness of the home lighting accessory. Some mention that they are happy with the three levels of brightness and the touch feature. However, others say that it dims or brightens on its own, including turning itself off.

Customers are dissatisfied with the fit of the adapter. They mention that it didn't fit their lamp, it was too big, and it didn’t fit under a lamp shade. Some say that the adapters only fit vertical lamps and do not fit light fixtures or ceiling fans.

"...to install; however, it was a bit taller than my last one so it didn't fit properly when light bulb was screwed in...." Read more

"...work with regular light bulbs although it added height so the lamp shade no longer fit on the lamp. It did work with a smaller bulb...." Read more

"...It barely allows the bulb to fit in under the arch that holds the shade. I'll probably look into finding a solution. It works but just barely!" Read more

"...It's fairly large, so you must have a lamp with a HUGE harp on it in order to use it.No harp, but you've got a shade lamp? No good...." Read more

Broke the first time I used it and I might know why
WARNING: If your lamp plug is not polarized read the following before using the dimmer.!!!!I have this old all metal lamp that I like a lot and wanted to turn it into a touch lamp so I ordered this product even though I read all the bad reviews and when I got it I saw how it probably worked and instead of thinking I plugged it in and the light popped/flashed and it never worked again and after I installed another bulb it lit but would not dim.... Scratched my head and carefully looked at the dimmer and now believe I found the problem and if they won't send me a replacement dimmer I might order another to cure my curiosity... Here is what I think the problem was: The lamp plug was NOT polarized and I stood a 50/50 chance of breaking the dimmer depending on which side of the outlet the shell of the lamp socket, not the tip of the lamp socket, connected to the neutral(aka ground) side of the wall outlet receptacle... Get it wrong then instead of the voltage going to the lamp being 1/3 of normal it was 3 x normal blowing the bulb and blowing a safety fuse link inside the dimmer breaking it. If you understand electricity and transformers and think about what I wrote you'll come to understand my logic...SOLUTION: I'm going to change the lamp plug from unpolarized to polarized and ensure the lamp socket base is connected to the neutral side of the plug.!!!! I'm going to order a new dimmer...
