    Lots of trial and error here!
    I put in over 250 recessed Sunco LED lights in my house and have returned MANY dimmers..... THESE WORK as the others did not! They are awesome!Returned my last dimers - 25 of them!!!!!! As they flickered and will not dim properly. Replaced them with these and I LOVE THESEI sometimes hate leaving great reviews because I feel like when the seller sees this they will increase their price. (and then when I need more, I will end up paying more because I gave them a rave review). I was questioning this - but they are great and work perfect for my very high detailed electrical layout and project!Make sure you understand that you can adjust the dimming switch on the left of the toggle! READ your instructions...…. That will make all the difference.
