Looking for an easy way to start saving energy in your home? Simply replace your standard on/off switch for incandescent or halogen bulbs with a Maestro eco-minder dimmer from Lutron. You'll save energy--and money--every time you dim your lights. Plus, you'll actually be able to "see" as you save. With eco-minder, the LED lights change from red to green when you start saving at least 15% on energy. The more you dim, the further down the green LED moves--and the more energy you're saving. Complete the look of your room by purchasing a Claro screwless wallplate, sold separately.

From the Manufacturer
The Maestro eco-minder dimmer from Lutron allows you to dim a light fixture from multiple locations while seeing your energy savings. As you dim your lights, the eco-minder LED turns from red to green. The more you dim the further down the green LED moves and the more energy you are saving. Designed with the smart features of Lutron’s standard Maestro, you will enjoy the convenience of the easy-to-operate tap switch which turns lights on/off to your favorite light level or tap twice for full on. Press, hold and release the switch for delayed fade-to-off. Delayed fade-to-off gives you 10-60 seconds to leave the room or get into bed before the lights go out. Adjust the light level for any activity using the rocker. To dim a light from one switch location, simply install a Maestro eco-minder dimmer (MA-600I-WH) and enjoy the benefits of digital fade dimming. To dim a light from more than one switch location, pair a Maestro eco-minder dimmer with the coordinating Maestro Accessory Dimmer (MA-R-WH) or Satin Colors (MSC-AD-MS). Using Maestro Dimmers and Accessory Dimmers, you can control a single light from up to 10 locations the perfect combination for controlling the lights at either end of the staircase or at both entrances to a room. Compliment your Maestro Dimmer and complete the look of your home with Claro screwless wallplates (CW-1-WH) gloss or (SC-1-MS) in Satin Colors, as well as coordinating switches, receptacles and other accessories. Save energy beautifully with Lutron. Claro screwless wallplate can be purchased separately to complete the look of your home.

I've now owned this unit for a full year at this point (purchased it at amazon) and can say that it is a first-rate product.
I'm not sure why others say it "get's hot"...but in terms of *my* dimmers, they are surprisingly cool.
Only slight issue, as with *all* new dimmers (no matter what the brand), is that you must ensure that your electrical box has proper depth/room to accommodate such units as this which are distinctly larger than a traditional light switch. Nothing like a big problem but just something to think about.
In short, I would highly recommend this product.

I had used several of these in my old house, so as soon as I closed on the new place i had my handy woman replace every light switch in the house with these. I absolutely love their fade-out feature and pre-set dim level. Since suffering a head injury in an auto accident I have an extreme sensitivity to artificial light, so these really help keep me from the sudden shock of bright light when someone turns on a switch without thinking. I've never had a moment's problem with any of these switches at either address, so maybe the other review had an installation problem or other pre-existing problem with the wiring in his house. I have used both the single pole and the 3-way variety.

This is a very simple to use, elegant, incandescent light dimmer.
This product does NOT include a face plate. In order to use this switch you have to purchase a Lutron face plate, the normal screw in face plates do not work. It was irritating because Ace Hardware carries the blister pack switches with face plates; but not the plates alone. Home Depot has a very small selection of these switches and face plates.

Granted these are gorgeous plates - no visible screw and the color exactly matches the switch.
The switch installs exactly the same way as any other switch. It fits in a standard size switch box. The connections are screws on the switch body (some dimmer switches use pig tail wires instead of the screws). The switch is set in a farily flimsy piece of metal.
To determine if this switch will work, first look at the lights this will control. If they add up to less than 600 Watts, you are good to go. For example, if the switch you have now turns off 6 lights, and you put 100W bulbs in the sockets, this will work. If you use 150W reflector lights, this will not work.
This switch only works with incandescent lamps - the old style light bulbs. It does NOT work with compact fluorescent lamps.
And, if your lights are turned off and on by one single switch, there are no others that can turn the lights off and on; then this switch will work. Getting into the two and three way (two or more switches turn the lights off) is sadly very complicated with this dimmer. Go to the Lutron website for advice.
The switch itself does feel slightly cheap. The plastic paddle has a fair amount of play and doesn't feel big, heavy and hydraulic when the switch is flipped. The Non-dimming Decora by Leviton switches feel much more solid.
This is an amazingly easy light switch to use. I had hesitated for a long time getting replacement dimmers. I hated the whole slider idea. Hit the paddle switch on the top, the light slowly brightens until it reaches the previous intensity set. Hit the bottom of the paddle and the lights slowly dim until they are off. To brighten or dim the lights, press the top or bottom of the little thin switch on the right side of the paddle. You can hold the top or bottom of the paddle and change the intensity in big steps.
There appears to be almost an infinite amount of dimming levels when you use the thin switch for intensity adjustment. I like that a lot. It is possible to have lamps glow orange, just barely on. It's a very pretty effect for a night light.
The LED's on the left give a general idea of light intensity. The top LED is red to indicate you are burning a lot of electricity. The lower ones are all green to show that you are being green and using less electricity with your lights. When the light is turned off, the preset intensity LED glows a little brighter than the others. The room has to be almost completely dark to see this effect. There is a very slight green and red glow from the LED's in a dark room. Not the best to locate a switch, but still an indicator.
Overall, I like this switch a lot. I wish it came with a face plate, which was an irritation to go chase after. You might want to shop carefully for those face plates, they might be a little less expensive at your local home center. But then again, having the whole thing shipped to you is darn convenient.
January 29, 2012 Update: My apologies, yes you can use any Decora rectangular cover plates with the Lutron line of switches. The two piece Lutron coves just look a heck of a lot nicer with these switches. This dimmer has been in our dining room, used daily, for a year with no problems at all. I happen to really like this switch a lot compared to some other new dimmers from Leviton. This is super simple to use, and intuitve. Some of the newer switches are complicated to dim and require the owner's manual to program. This switch just works.

Amazing dimmer
First off, I received the "regular" Maestro and not the eco-minder. The only difference between the two is that the eco-minder has a red topmost LED while this one is green, but... Read more

Works great
This dimmer has worked well for me... Sometimes gets warm, but I've never had a dimmer that doesn't. I think you can safely buy knowing it's from a quality company.

Gorgeous product but doesnt last
This is a really neat dimmer, i bought one about 5 years ago and have used it to control a 500 watt halogen fixture -- the rating is up to 600 watts, so that is fine. Read more
