How many users are having a problem with the switch. I am seeing some can't turn it off, problems dimming etc.?

I have issues with my switch! Its a hit or miss....sometimes it turns on on the first touch, sometimes on the 10th

I've not had any issues with my lamp. The switch works sensing body capacitance (a very small amount of electrical current) when you touch it directly. It won't activate by touching with a piece of plastic or other non-conducting material. Dry hands (as might occur in winter) may not have enough capacitance to register. Also, oil and dirt on the switch would act as an insulator, wipe the switch with a cloth and a gentle household cleaner.

I haven't had this issue with either of my lamps. They are both working fine.

Dimming works great, IF it turns on. And whether or not it turns on is a crap shoot. Sometimes it does turn on, sometimes, no matter what I do, it will NOT turn on. And, conversely, sometimes it won't turn off! I have even tried wetting my finger first to see if that helps (like I occasionally have to do with my smart phone), but it has no effect. If they had just put a regular toggle switch on there, this problem would not exist.

I have been having major problems with the switch. It will not turn on by pushing it. I have to plug it in to get it to turn on! I need to look at returning it.

I'm definitely having issues with my power switch. Tried to leave a review about this and amazon rejected it! Its a nice lamp but the power switch is obviously an issue amongst many including myself.

I have had problems with the switch since I've had it. Another reviewer had mentioned moistening the fingertip, which does help on occasion. If it weren't for the switch issue, I would have purchased at least four more of these.

There is a short delay from the time the switch is turned on until there is light. At first it is unexpected and irritating, later the delay is just irritating. I made a call to Lutron (the makers of the doming switch I use for the 6 rooms I have Kobi bulbs in probably 30 bulbs) and was told that is to be expected and that neither the installation (bulbs or switch) was bad.

Not sure what problems you had but I have not experience any. Turn it on, it's on, turn it off, it's off.

The bulbs do not stay on when the dimmer is off, however, I had some that did. My issue was that the ground line (on the switch) was cut with the switch and the live wire was still connected to socket(s) and current was leaking to the ground. Suggest you switch the power input line and ground line on the switch. If it is a three way switch do one switch at a time.

Not for me so far. I've seen comments from other owners that have reported burn-in. The internet consensus seems to be that burn-in is possible.

Have same issue with posts on panel cover also snapped. Original switch works but dropped down and hard to use buttons. Good luck, Jeremy. Please comment if you find part name or ID and if you find a source; I will too. Best!

It is supposed to work that way and does so when it works. It doesn't necessarily work properly. I find myself having to play with the switches to get them to turn on/off the lights

I never had that problem, it worked well for me. There might be a problem with the switch.

Why do you need a new switch? Hard to answer an incomplete question, sorry.

I purchased two and gave one as a gift. I think the problem is in the switch. I found that you have to push down rather hard as you switch it on.

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.

I had the same problem and was told by their customer service that a bad batch of thermostats was installed in some units. They are sending me a new thermostat, which i guess i will install myself. I also have had two issues now with the on/off switch not working properly. I am sorry I bought this unit.

Mine did not work either. The switch was not functioning. But the most disappointing issue is that the seller and the manufacturer did not care to listen to my complains or try to repair the switch. No refunds was received.

Check connections, before and after the switch. Had mine well over a year, no problems....

I had the same problem with one switch I installed. I took it back out and found the ground was not tight. Once correct, it has been working fine. I am dimming LED's and they are smooth and flicker-free. My advice would to be certain the switch is grounded correctly. Hope that fixes it for you.

Hi Ya. I've have a couple of issues with the on/off switch. But, I think it's because of the water proof casing and that I'm a little impatient sometimes. It'll start up as long as I press and hold the on/off button til the little green light lites up. Then it works great!!
