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 output. 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, 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.
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. These dimmers are designed for incandescent bulbs, but generally LED bulbs marked "dimmable" will work with these too. All of our bulbs work well with these dimmers (both incandescent filament and LED).
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!!!)

In line dimmer switch
Received my switch installed properly switch doesn't work.
Reply from SHV: Sorry to hear that Rich, can you elaborate more? Does the switch turn on and off but not dim, or does the switch not work at all? What is the response when you try to dim (nothing, flickering bulb, etc). What kind of bulb are you trying to dim (incandescent, LED, etc). If we can narrow down that it's a defective switch we'd be happy to send you a new one! -
INLINE DIMMER CORD SWITCH - LEVITON FULL RANGE LAMP ROTARY DIMMER
Works perfectly with no buzzing. Be careful to just cut one of the leads, not both!
Reply from SHV: Thanks Jan, yes that is important on the install, only cut the hot wire, the neutral wire needs to stay uncut and pass through the switch. We have a comprehensive How-To in our blog, the link in the top menu bar, and the article is called DIY Tutorial: How to Wire a Switch to an Electrical Cord -

On/Off In-Line Dimmer Switch
Snake Head had what I couldn't find elsewhere in southern Michigan to fit a 1970 cactus lamp. Made me very happy. Shipped ultra-fast and a reputable brand name. Perhaps this mood lamp will induce my wife to be more loving.

Excellent dimmer
Excellent dimmer & switch.
One problem I didn't think of, is the dimmer's in and out holes are made for the lightly insulated cord.
The cord to my lamp is not lightweight and I have to make adjustments to the in and out holes --via a Dremel grinder.

so glad this tech exists
I built a lamp and bought fancy LED bulbs for it and they were much brighter than anticipated. Installed this in-line dimmer in 5 mins and it’s absolutely perfect. Dims the bulbs without flickering and with good range. Highly recommend this product.
