Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Leviton 6673-10W Decora CFL Slide Dimmer lets you take advantage of CFL lighting while maintaining precise dimming control. The Decora works with either incandescent or dimmable CFL bulbs using an auto mode that detects bulb type and adjusts dimming range accordingly. With the Decora, you can take advantage of the longer life and greater efficiency of dimmable CFLs, and get the same consistency you would with an incandescent. This switch works alone or in three-way installations.
Better Dimming Performance with CFL Bulbs
The Leviton Decora lets you dim your bulbs to low levels without flicker. Low-level activation is also possible--you can switch the lights on from a dimmed setting. Developed to work with a wide range of CFL bulbs, the Decora extends the dimmable range of recommended CFL bulbs to that of incandescent bulbs.

Auto Mode Function Adjusts Dimmer Range
When you set the Decora to auto-mode, it detects whether a lamp is an incandescent or dimmable CFL, then determines low-end dimming capabilities and adjusts dimmer range accordingly. This way, The Decora will work with any bulb you happen to have on hand.
Versatile Design is Compatible with Other Switches
This dimmer is compatible with Decora screwless and Decora standard designer wall plates, as well as ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI's). Its slim, compact housing fits easily into a standard wall box and is suitable for multi-gang installations. Use the Decora alone or with other devices.
This product comes with a manufacturer's limited 5-year warranty.

I bought this to control 4 dimmable CFLs in a ceiling fan lighting kit. The dimmer I was using made the lights flicker when they were dimmed below a certain point. This Leviton dimmer purported to correct this problem. When first installed, the CFLs still flickered when dimmed below a certain point. According to the instructions, I set the auto/manual switch to manual, set the dimmer to just before the lights started flickering, and set back to auto. I tried the dimmer, and there was no change.
After a little experimentation, I found that if I started the lights on high and dimmed slowly (not ridiculously so), I could move the dimmer slider to the bottom of its range with no flickering. The lights would dim to the previously set limit. So, the trick is to start on high and dim fairly slowly.
It should be noted that I was using GE dimmable CFLs, which are not one of the 2 or 3 brands/models recommended in the instructions. Also, don't expect dimmable CFLs to have the same range as incandescent bulbs. Incandescents can go from full brightness to barely a glow. You may be able to dim CFLs about 50%.
IMPORTANT: You can only dim CFLs that are marked "Dimmable" on the packaging. Do not try to dim conventional CFLs.

I tried my old dimmer and changing 4 incandescent bulbs to cfl bulbs in a
overhead fixture. The old dimmer did not work, 3 of the 4 bulbs failed in one way or another. This new dimmer which supports both types of bulb, (can't mix in same circuit) works great. Be certain to buy dimmable bulbs that are recommended in the flyer that comes with the dimmer. You should also only buy UL listed bulbs.
Very satisfied with results of this dimmer.
