It's a HAI UPB 600W Dimmer Switch 35A00-1.
The wife is letting me buy a few more switches. I have most of the complex stuff situated lighting wise.
Now I have a few spots where I want to take the more feature-rich SA-UPB switches and swap them out for some "Simple" switches that rely on UPB.
That is, I have 2 US2-40s that I want to put in different areas of the house. Right now they "SNAP" on for a heat lamp in the bathroom and the fan.
If I put these 600W dimmers in and SNAP them on (instead of the relay as they could wake the wife at night) then I can use the more advanced features of the US2-40 with the different face-plates that I have.
I'm also looking at it from a cost standpoint. If I buy the "demo" kit of SA's US2-40s it's 199.95 for 3 (66.65 each). The HAI guys are $60 each. This lets me buy 1 extra Switch and still stay under my "limit". (ok, ok, It's not all her, I only have so much $$ to spend and it comes from e-baying and selling stuff in these forums, so I've only spent enough $$ to cover 4 HAI switches, or the demo kit and have a few bucks left over).
So, anyone who has used these, do they have the same quality "Feel" that the SA switches do? Would you buy them again? I understand I am giving up features for cost (maybe not a fair trade-off cost/features lost), however the places I am putting these switches will ONLY be used as ON/OFF and I am currently "wasting" features in the bathroom where I have 3 US2-40s where I could easily have a simple ON/OFF such as the above HAI switch.
Anogee, anything you can contribute would be appreciated. I think I remember a post somewhere, where you mention you have used the Relay version of this to make a switched outlet.
Thanks!
