Perform as expected
They do the job of adjusting light intensity but cause a yellowing of the light. Need gels to compensate.

Comments about Impact 600 Watt AC Dimmer Control:
Great for dimming lights that can't otherwise be controlled. This little pack plugs in (albeit with only two prongs, so have an adapter on hand) and provides a ready made dimming solution. Would prefer a more rugged metal enclosure, but hey, for the price it can't be beat.

Comments about Impact 600 Watt AC Dimmer Control:
Great dimmer! It does what it's supposed to do. Full range control for one light. As others have said, make sure your lighting has two-prong plugs (no center ground pin), or you'll need an adapter. My lights have the 2-prong type so I had no problems.

Comments about Impact 600 Watt AC Dimmer Control:
We use this to control hot lights for still photography and video. It allows us to set the proper level of lighting needed for the situation and avoid overexposure. It is easy to adjust. Just know that if your lights have a 3 prong plug you will need an adapter because this product has 2 prong connections.

Works GREAT!!! I thought I would be stuck with switching bulbs to change my light output. Not with this little unit. Now I can go from dim to full capacity brightness in just seconds.

Use the product for a 500 watt halogen floor lamp. It is stylish fits in nicely with lamp and furniture and is very effective as a stand alone type of rheostat, not requiring more expensive wiring to a switch. All it needs is a 120 V outlet.

Comments about Impact 600 Watt AC Dimmer Control:
Used this to control output from a 500W Rifa. It performed as expected and provided a good range of brightness values. Required a 3-to-2 grounding adapter to be of any real use in lighting for video. The unit can get hot, but it didn't seem to affect performance. Take caution not to use it in hot environments and especially not outdoors.

Works well and have had no problems but keep in mind that most hot lights have a 3 prong plug and this only accepts 2 prongs. You will need an adapter to be able to use it.

Nothing too much to say about this product except it just works. I've never had a problem with these. Maybe, and it would be nit picking, these could be made a little more heavy duty, but for [$], you get what you pay for.

Fantastic addition to the kit! This guy really does the trick, instead of aperture troubles, a quick dim up or down has come in handy numerous times! Great product.
