Would be nice if it were a little bit narrower, so 2, 3 or 4 could mount side by side in my current plate
Low profile and screwless faceplate. Better looking than V1
The dimmer works well but having the brightness and reset buttons on the front face of the device is a silly design decision because you then have to dismantle the dimmer from the faceplate every time you need to access the buttons. Given the mounting screw thread is plastic this is less than ideal as it wouldn’t take much to cross thread or strip it whilst tightening. Having the buttons on one side and recessed so they aren’t easily pressed accidentally, and having a metal screw thread would be a significant improvement.
Quite expensive, but competitive with others
It would be really great if this could be wired with a two-way switch rather than just a retractive switch
works better then previous model and also has new power monitoring features
This is the 2nd or 3rd time I’ve bought these. I like them.
