I never thought I would be this excited about light switches, but here we are. These dimmer switches are great, and the main reason I decided to go for these instead of the Leviton slider bar dimmer switches I just installed a few months ago was simply because of the light up slider control on the right side of the switch. It's a small detail but it gives a very modern feel and I love the operation as well. The slider bar also acts as a night light as it lights up even when the switch is off, it's dim enough to not be distracting but makes it easy to locate the switch in the dark especially for guests staying over who may be unfamiliar with the house.The switch is not like standard 'decora' rocker switches that locks in the on/off position - instead it stays in the middle position at all times, you simply push the top portion for 'on' and the bottom portion for 'off' and the switch returns to the middle, making for near silent operation. This detail will make it stand out slightly compared to traditional switches if they're next to each other, but it's hardly noticeable.When you switch the lights on, they start from fully dim and go up to full brightness and vice versa when shutting off - makes for an aesthetic transition.They're pricey at $40 a piece, especially when you have a lot of dimmer switches, but they're worth it for the cool factor and quality alone. It'll cost around around $400 for me to replace all of them in our house but I'll do them over the course of the year as I feel like it. It's a very well built switch and given the design I can't see the toggle wearing out like traditional switches eventually will. I wish I would have gone for these to begin with instead of the slider Leviton switches as now I'm retracing my footsteps.
