More of a hummer than a dimmer!
Bought this for a customer to replace there broken dimmer that had worked for years, fitted it and they kept complaining about a humming noise, had to go back and swap for normal switch.

Referring to Electrical Engineer Rowla's review
B&Q have started to stock dimmers with a trailing edge waveform suitable for LED bulbs, as I found one in Stafford store, but can't find on the website - they are a little more expensive but will work better with LEDs.

Very poor at dimming led lamps
I bought this product and found led lamps flicker when dimmed. This is because led lamps that are suitable for dimming need a trailing edge charaactistic not a leading edge as these are.
