the switch works great and has the ability to be used as single pole and 3-way switching. The box does not have wiring instructions included. Once installed and wired up, the adjustablity is very smooth.

I specified the product model number in the title, but I include it here too so that the review doesn't find its way to another product, as I have sometimes found in reviews. So, this is for the Lutron TGCL-153P-WH-2 single pole/3-way dimmers, in a white toggle style switch two-pack. I struggled with the conflicting information in so many reviews that I read which made me concerned about buying one and ending up having flicker when dimming my LED bulbs. My first attempt was a purchase I made at Costco of a different Lutron dimmer, which required a neutral wire to function, but my light switches didn't use a neutral wire so back it went. Searching the reviews long and hard led me to one comment that suggested the 153P family of switches work without flicker. So I took a chance on these. They fit right in with the same simple two-wire hook-up, plus ground, of the old switch, and use the same switch plate cover. So, I took a chance and bought them. To install it I turned off the breaker, removed the old switch, and installed the dimmer. Then I turned on the breaker, crossed my fingers, and turned on the switch. It turned on fine, so I adjusted the brightness, while hoping for flicker-free success. It worked perfectly from lowest brightness to full brightness with zero flicker at all settings! My wife is happy which means I'm happy. Therefore, I can fully recommend these dimmers. And I hope this review saves you the hassle I went through trying to find a dimmer for LED bulbs that works without flicker. Just be certain that you have LED bulbs that are dimmable. I suspect many negative reviews are because their LED bulbs were not dimmable. The other dimmer switches in the 153P family, such as the rocker style switch, should also work perfectly, since the internals are the same. Best of luck and I hope my review helps!

So nice to have a toggle switch and separate slider for dimmer. Wiring was straight forward

Update: I actually bought 3 of these switches and now less than 4 years later one of them with very low usage died / stopped working out of nowhere. This switch was in a spare room not used often and died. The other two are used frequently and still working but this was still disappointing.I ended up buying this dimmer switch twice because I like it so much. Easy to install, decent price, and stable dimming (no flickering). You don’t even need to get a new face plate if you are replacing a standard light switch, it is the same size. Easiest dimmer you can possibly install.I first bought this dimmer to replace an existing one at the home I moved into. The existing one had a broken dimmer slider and I wasn’t able to dim the lights properly. Replacement was easy. This dimmer was actually going into a setup where the lights can be turned on/off from three locations. It seemed like this might not work in that scenario based on what I read, but it did work fine for me.Then I recently bought another of these dimmer switches. This was a more straight forward install since it was for a single pole application (only one source to turn on/off the lights), but either way it is super easy to install. In this case, the dimmer has been installed in my office room. This is where I work on the computer for long hours (covid) and where I do some video gaming. My existing four in-ceiling lights only had one brightness setting best described as “meet the sun god” which was too extreme for me most of the time. With the dimmer installed I’m now able to get a very dim (and stable, no flicker) light in the room better suited for my screen use or an even brighter than before “atom bomb” setting if I want to. To get the bulbs as dim as I wanted to, I did have to adjust the dimmer setting before putting the light switch panel back on. This is an easy trial and error of nudging the lever one way or another and checking how it impacts the dimming. In my case I put it all the way to the left (toward “-“) and got pretty good results.

I have installed 2 out of the 3 switches, one as a single pole and the other as a 3 way. They work well with my LED bulbs which are listed as compatible.

Works great out of the box. Needed no adjustment of dimming range for a wide range of dimmer capability on the 2 GU10 LED light fixtures that I installed.Both fixtures had 3 LED GU10/50w equivalent dimmable bulbs.

No issues fit in those standard builder fittings. Works perfect. I've become a switch expert.
