I'm 25 and I still like a nightlight occasionally whatever)
This does exactly what it says on the package. I bought it because I strung up fairy lights on my headboard but I found them too bright for trying to sleep (yes, I'm 25 and I still like a nightlight occasionally whatever). So I bought this. The first one didn't actually get sent to my address (something about my delivery address not existing even though it definitely does and I'm here), so they had to send a second one. Amazon was really great about getting the new one to me the next business day which was great. Anyway, this works just like you'd think. You plug it in, then the lights into the dimmer, and it...dims. Lights. It makes my fairy lights go from "electric city" to "oh man maybe there really are living things strung up in a line giving me enough light to feel safe". This dimmer was a good investment and I'm excited to try it out during Christmas. Word of warning: check your fairy lights before you plug them in! This is NOT for LED lights. I don't know if it would be dangerous to plug them in, but it might cause overheating, which can lead to fires! My fairy lights are not LED and they're under the max wattage, so the dimmer does NOT get hot or buzz or any of those weird things you might read in previous reviews. I have the dimmer itself suspended so max air flow can circulate around it, but neither the dimmer nor the lights have been hot to the touch, and I check pretty often. Please make sure you're using the correct type and wattage of lights for this!!!! Photos are pre- and post-dimmer with my overhead light off to show just how bright the fairy lights are.
