Some time ago, I did an article on whether you can put a dimmer switch on any light<\/a>. And in that article, I briefly mentioned the different types of dimmer switches. One of them happens to be plug in dimmer switches<\/strong> that help you control the intensity of those lights that need to be plugged into a socket, for example, bedside lamps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, in this article, I will cover the top light dimmer plug<\/strong>s available in the market. I will also cover the factors that I considered while compiling this list. In the end, I will wrap up the article by mentioning about my personal favourite product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But if you are new here, let me tell you a bit about myself and why I can give your trustworthy advice on these devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am Jennifer and an interior decorator. I believe in making spaces beautiful and contemporary with the times. Over the last half a decade, I have helped more than 200 clients realize their dream of calling a house their true home. And during this period, I have tested almost all the products out there in the market for my job. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n So without further ado, let’s dive deep into the heart of the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In my experience, considering these factors will help you choose the right product. Some of these factors may not be pertinent to you, but I am still listing them below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Changing traditional plugs with smart light dimmer plug<\/strong>s is mostly a DIY project. Even if you are a beginner, you can do it quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, I always recommend products that are not too difficult to install for DIY replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These smart devices work on a specific protocol, i.e., Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, etc. Therefore, when you purchase a dimmer plug for lamps or other LEDs, you need to factor this in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another compatibility aspect comes into the picture if you already have a smart hub\/bridge at home. You will want that your dimmer outlet<\/strong> is compatible with your home ecosystem, for example, Samsung SmartThings, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This factor is not that relevant these days as most people have LEDs in their homes that consume very little power but for those who still use incandescent bulbs, checking the maximum power rating assumes importance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After all, you wouldn’t want the switch that you are buying can’t even support the light, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Generally, these dimmer switches with outlets are perfect for bedside lamps. Therefore, you may want to ensure that the switch aesthetic goes with the room color palette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Again this factor might not be a concern of everyone, but for me, who earns her living by making spaces beautiful, aesthetics are critical. I have installed a Lutron lamp dimmer at my home, and I am delighted with its performance. 2 bedside lamps are plugged in one configuration and work like a charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, let’s talk about the product specs first, and then I will list its pros and cons.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow I Compiled A List of The Best Plug In Dimmer Switches<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
