by Classic Accents

Product Description

DIMMERS AS IS CAN NOT BE INSTALLED SIDE BY SIDE IN SWITCH BOX. U.L. Listed Incandescent Light Dimmer for Permanent Fixtures. (DO NOT USE ON FLUORESCENT FIXTURES OR FANS.) The modern convenience of a dimmer switch in the Classic styling of Push Button design. The external parts of the Push Button Dimmer are almost indistinguishable from the standard Push Button Switch. The top button pushes in and serves as an on-off function. The bottom button rotates to increase or decrease intensity. 600 Watts - 120 Volt - Three Way Single Gang. All our switches are replicas of the push button switches that were used in homes around the United States from the turn of the century to the 1950's. They are built to the specifications of modern electrical code and used for replacing your old push button switches and also great for new construction. They add an unique and classic element to any room. NOTE: When using a dimmer within a 3-way or 4-way circuit only one switch can be a dimmer, the other 3 way switch needs to be a mechanical switch (HD3).

I have several of these throughout my house and love the look but they are terribly made. This one in particular, the 3-way 600-watt push button dimmer, I've had break on me three times! It's expensive to begin with but once you toss in replacing it three times and paying for an electrician to install it becomes prohibitive. I'm on my last one before I switch to Lutrons, which never seem to break. The part that breaks for me is the push button which just stops operating (maybe a spring breaks?). Though I do have one 300-watt where the dimmer part broke and the on/off still works. Very disappointing. And yes, they're all the same manufacturer -- you can tell if you look closely and see the "CA" for Classic Accents on these switches pretty much anywhere they're sold.

I have about 15 of Classic Accents dimmers and switches in my old home. It was to bring the look back to original. The switches are over 15 years old now and the only problem has been that one of the mother of pearl inserts fell out. I found it on the floor and with a little glue, it is as good as new. As for the dimmers, they are a little more sensitive. I broke one carrying a carpet into to house and it broke the lower button off. Another burned out (after 10 years but I must admit I am right at the maximum wattage on it).
If you have an old house your are restoring, these are still a darn good product to use.
