Customer Review: Beautiful, functional reproduction
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first bought my 1932 vintage house two decades ago, the real estate agent told me that the original light switches - which by that point were long gone - had been "push button" switches, where there was an on button and an off button operating a hidden toggle. She recommended that I find replicas of those originals if I ever replaced a light switch.
When a 1970s era dimmer switch in my dining room quit being flaky and instead gave up the ghost completely, I remembered that recommendation, and found this Classic Accents line of switches. I bought this dimmer switch, since my dining room has a single switch and I wanted a dimmer. The switch looks like the original switches - which were not dimmers - but the top button is spring loaded and controls both on and off, while the bottom "button" is actually a dimmer knob.
This switch has been absolutely great. It's always good to have the dimmer control separate from the on/off control so you can "save" a favored dimmer setting. The knurled knob on this switch is a perfect dimmer control, making it very easy to find the perfect light level. That's much better than on some more conventional dimmer switches, where the dimmer is a tiny slider beside the switch that's rather difficult to set. The push button controlling on and off has been fine.
Classic Accents also makes a variety of cover plates for this switch. I used the Classic Accents Polished Brass Single Gang Toggle Switch Plate. Also, this dimmer switch can replace a regular switch - just keep in mind that dimmer switches aren't recommended for compact fluorescents or LED light bulbs. It was great for my incandescent dining room chandelier, though.
For the do it yourself folks, the switch came with good instructions and was fairly easy to install into a standard single switch box. I only had to provide electrical tape and a pair of pliers. That saved me an electrician's visit, which around here costs way more than even the nicest of light switches!
