Color Name:White
This and similar Lutron dimmers work fine for the first few years. However, the plastic rocker paddles are held in place by a small plastic hook on either side that is part of the paddle. These hooks are only about 1/16" thick and eventually one will break after repeated on/off operations, and then you can't operate the paddle any more (see my customer photo if it's still up). I bought a new house with about half a dozen of these in it, and two of them broke over the last two years.
The problem could be easily fixed by swapping in a new rocker paddle, but I couldn't find anyone who sells them. And Lutron did not reply to me when I wrote to their customer service department about the issue; that alone will stop me from ever buying Lutron again.
So, the only Lutron-based fix is to replace the entire dimmer for $25-$35. However, you can buy a Leviton dimmer such as Leviton Decora Slide Dimmer No. 6631-I 600 Watt Single Pole Incandescent Lighting Switch for less than half the price of the Lutron that will do a perfectly good job. What's more, the Leviton part has only 2/3rd the depth of the Lutron and a narrower front metal plate (which is used as a heat sink) and will fit in your electrical box a lot more easily.

Color Name:White
Put one of these (3-pole) into my last house for some track lights in the kitchen. For halogen or ELV track lights, these are great, the inconspicuous dimmer slider stays where you put it, and using the toggle switch doesn't shift it. The "locator light" (night light) is great for locations like dark hallways, dark kitchens,... any room which you are entering in the middle of the night and need to find that switch easily. I found in my last house that dimming the track lights (over a tile island) all the way, and turning off, I could go in at 3 AM, find the switch, have just enough light to find the fridge/water dispenser, without blinding me or losing my night vision. I can't recommend these enough. The snap-on face plate covers are very attractive, but they are not so easy to remove once the switch is installed, so ensure you've got the switch mounted properly before snapping it on.
As always with DIY electrical work, ensure you killed the right circuit breaker, and verify the wires are "dead" with a good voltage detector before installing.

I like this unit because it is simple to use, even for guests. Plus the dimmer is easy to access, but not in the way of the normal operation. It installed in minutes and I have had no problems with it. Again, I have several of these in my home and will replace more over time.
Regarding Lutron... The switch that I was replacing is also a Lutron and they are slowly and surely failing all through my house, room by room. I have a different model Lutron that has a small off and on switch on the bottom and a big slide dimmer. This model is horrible because it is a pain to turn on and off and the large slider cannot in itself turn the light off. The most important thing is that these other Lutron switches FAIL ALL THE TIME and I have had to replace them frequently in my house. But the model I am reviewing appear to be more solid.

Excellent dimmer
This dimmer is great. The dimmer setting and the on off switch are separate, so you set the dimmer independently. Read more

switched on
A very effective straightforward dimmer. The only problem was that the intructions were not straightforward if you have limited understanding of DIY.

Works well. Backlight not switchable.
This dimmer looks pretty good and works well. The only downside I can see is that it has a light that's on whenever the switched light is off. If you need a nightlight that's nice. Read more

I'd Buy More Of The Same
Fits well in a crowded electrial box. Nice touch to include wall plate. Night light feature makes it easy to locate in the dark. Dimmer smooth and stays where you set it.
