Inline Dimmer Cord Switch - Leviton Brand Full Range Lamp Dimmer, Rotary Knob, Feed Trhu
Brown or Ivory (Beige), Great with Cloth Wire - 2-wire cords only!!!!
Leviton Inline switches are durable and dependable, and are the top of the line as far as dimmer switches are concerned. What sets them apart? 1) Smooth function: steady increases and decrease of the light optput. 2) Full range: these will get your bulb as low and as high is it is capable of. 3) Consistent output: cheap dimmers are known for flickering and flashing, especially with today's higher efficiency bulbs. As long as your bulb is marked as "dimmable" (and of course, any incandescent filament), these dimmers will work beautifully. 4) Longevity: Look inside the dimmer, there's a lot going on in there! Don't wast time with cheap dimmers that will fail or fry up in a short period of time.
All of our Edison bulbs (LED and incandescent) are fully compatible with these dimmers. They look great on dimmers, being able to watch the filaments rise and fall with the turn of the knob, and you get only the amount of light you need, when you need it.
Dimmer function: Yes these will also turn the bulb on and off! Rotation starts in the "off" position, as you turn it clockwise it clicks "on", and then you have the ability to rotate the dial to your desired brightness level.
Feed through switches are easy to work with: The shell unscrews with 2 screws. Your cord (make sure you have no power going to it!) will have 2 wires, the "neutral" wire will bypass the switch, just run it along the space in the bottom. Cut your "hot" wire in half, strip your ends (we recommend a small piece of electrical tape when using our cloth wire), and attach one end of your "hot" wire to one screw terminal, and attach the other end to the other.
This listing is for the Leviton Dimmer switch only (a quantity of 1 = 1 switch!!! Wire shown as an example, can be purchased separately!!!)

On the large side. Is working well.

It was nice to be able to find a site that sells "hard to find" electrical products. The dimmers performed perfectly.

This dimmer is the exact replacement of my old one which lasted 40 years! Thanks for the speedy reply.

The control works fine, but the holes at either end are quite small, which greatly limits the size of lamp cord that can be accommodated. Ours is an average size 18/2 cord, but the dimmer could not be screwed shut so I’ll have to return it. I decided to use a Lutron dimmer switch in the wall, instead.
SHV Reply: Sorry to hear that Richard, we can take back for a refund, these are designed to work with 18 gauge 2-wire cord, so unless yours was an extra thick insulation or thick braiding (like hemp rope vs cloth cord), it should fit fine. All of our 18/2 twisted cords and parallel style cords work well with these.

Easy to install and worked as advertised. Perfect for my application

No soldering required. I had it spliced and running in less than 10 minutes. Only downside was that there was too little room to run the other wire inside the switch case so it looks a little ghetto.
SHV REPLY: Hello, glad it's working for you, regarding the other wire, what size cord are you using? These should be able to fit almost any 18 gauge 2-wire lamp cord, twisted or parallel style (but round cord, 3-wire cord, or thicker gauge cord may make it more difficult)

I'm sure it was new, in a never opened package and it worked just fine, but I'm not sure it is still commercially available. That is why I'm grateful that it was still to be found. I installed it where it was needed, and it works just as I expected it to.
It arrived sooner than I expected, carefully wrapped. Good seller.

Can hardly find these anywhere else. Great for a vintage hanging lamp. Easy to install.

Service from Snakehead was first-rate. I would definitely purchase from them again.
The dimmer switch is fine. Comes with clear directions for installation.
Works well with a dimmable LED bulb.

Dimmer was easy to install and worked fine with my LED rope light fixture. Couldn't find one at any ACE or Home Depot stores so glad I found Snake Head.
