screw in dimmer Feb 10, 2002 By BillR "billdelano"
This product would be very nice if the tabs were not spaced so close together near the base of the screw. Also this product will only work in the old fashioned metallic receptacle. Most modern receptacles are ceramic or plastic and very wide compared to the spacing of the tabs on this product. Most lamps and sockets in fixtures will not accept this product. Though this product is unique and slimline in profile, it won't work in most applications.

Lamp socket dimmer easy to use- light touch Jan 09, 2010 By S. Mason
This Westek touch control socket dimmer converted an awkward table lamp into an easy-to-use light. We were tired of reaching underneath the lamp shade, fumbling blindly to find the switch to turn the lamp off and on. This dimmer installed easily into the existing brass lamp socket. Now any metal part of the table lamp becomes the "switch". Touch the base, or touch the shade harp or the metal finial. With each touch, the light level cycles through three levels of brightness and then turns off.

Will probably not work in most lamps... Feb 12, 2009 By Nhatman
Like one of the previous reviewers said, this product will probably not work in most lamps. In older lamps, the entire metallic housing that the bulb screws into is exposed, allowing the two contacts (protected by the two tabs) to contact.

However, with most (if not all) newer lamps, the metallic housing sits inside another housing, usually made of plastic or ceramic. So when you screw this product in, the two plastic tabs hit the plastic/ceramic housing on the lamp and prevents the two contacts from contacting your lamp's metallic housing.

It's a little bit difficult to explain, but trust me, once you buy this and find out it doesn't work, it's easy to see why.

Has an engineering flaw that is terminal! Aug 15, 2011 By L. M. Moore "Writer"
This is my third one to use in lamps. works as advertised UNTIL you get a bulb burned out. Replace the bulb and then the dimmer will no longer work. This happened on all 3 before I realized that the common thread was the burned out bulb! If you want to use this gadget, better buy the $15 long life bulb, because the dimmer won't outlast the original bulb. Unlucky for me, I tossed all the packaging and thus the warranty info.

I now buy the dimmer that plugs in at the wall and works the same way. No problem with it. It is called "SuperSwitch Touch Dimmer"
