I can read by them at 100% or go to full-on 'mood lighting' at 25%. Plugged the strings into this dimmer and problem solved. Even with the 0.8W bulbs, it was pretty bright in the back yard. I installed 4, 48' strings of the commercial grade string lights with the LED Professional S14 warm white bulbs around my patio and along the top of the 8' perimeter fence enclosing my back yard. Works as advertised/ Remote control is quite good with many handy functions. Can’t do much better than their customer service! However, party lights customer service took care of me and sent a new unit to me with no questions asked. I did have and issue with the unit and it stopped working. I found using this dimmer to be spectacular and really enjoyed adjusting the intensity of the bulbs when I wanted to. I recently purchased this light dimmer kit for a set of string lights I purchased from party lights. The dimmer does not fade the light completely to 0, but I would estimate it does take them down to near 15 % +/. This dimmer is as described, compatible with low watt led bulbs. The range on the remote is decent - more than 50 feet or so. The first should have lasted longer but I guess 3 years isn't too bad. We use them around our fire pit and always use them at the lowest setting. If you want any sort of ambiance you will need the ability to dim your string lights.
