4.0 out of 5 stars Multi-purpose use!!!
I'm using this for lights in a studio but this item works great for lights around the house that don't already a dimmer installed.

Very easy to use and install!

1.0 out of 5 stars Low Power Applications Only
I purchased four of these controls for my home video studio. They worked well until I connected to 500 watt lamps to them. They are very susceptible to current spikes (turning the lights on and off at full power). Needless to say I blew all four controllers. I ended up going to Lowe's hardware and purchasing standard 110V lighting controls and built my own. Great...

I would not recommend these controllers unless it is a relatively low power application.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dimmer control, February 24, 2009
This review is from: Smith Victor 402010 DC-1 Dimmer Variable Wattage Dimmer for 2-Prong Cords (Electronics)
This just didn't work. It's supposed to be a dimmer switch but when I tried to dim the lights, it only put out a horrible humm and the lights went out completely.

I sent an email to the company and got no response.
