2.0 out of 5 stars
Convenient, but short life!,
By Sarah (Dayton, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Westek 6043BC 200W 3-Level Touch Pad Dimmer, Black (Tools & Home Improvement)
This product is convenient (especially if you're short and can't quite reach the switch on a tall lamp), until it breaks! The first one I ordered lasted about 9 months until it just shorted out. I got a second one which lasted about a month, and again, it just shorted out. Part of it has to do with static electricity generated in the winter time in my house, so when I go to touch it, I shock it, thus making it short out. Luckily the price is reasonable, so I'm not out a ton of money. I will NOT be buying a third and will either buy shorter lamps or learn to stretch if I need to turn on my lamp. You're better off getting an actual touch lamp instead of this quick fix.

Good idea but fragile,

This review is from: Westek 6043BC 200W 3-Level Touch Pad Dimmer, Black (Tools & Home Improvement)
I had the same experience as the previous reviewer. I had 2 units, each connected to bedside lamps with 40w incandescent bulbs. When one of the bulbs burned out the dimmer failed. I don't really know which was the cause and which was the effect! There is no way to service or inspect the switch without tearing the case apart. The touch functionality was useful, but it needs to be more robust. Westek 200W 3-Level Touch Pad Dimmer, Black #6043BC

Fine until it breaks!,

This review is from: Westek 6043BC 200W 3-Level Touch Pad Dimmer, Black (Tools & Home Improvement)
We've been through two of these. They're wonderful...until....
The first one broke when we screwed in a new light bulb while it was plugged in and turned on. That might be put down to "doing something dumb" - perhaps it would have been best to turn the light off first. The second one broke when a bulb burned out while it was running! I am looking for the company that makes it, and intending to complain. I would really like to have one of these - IFF it could be persuaded to continue to work. I'd hate to think I have to use a surge-protector on an ordinary floor lamp!
