Description

Inspired by early 20th century rotary knobs, the "Illuminator" adds vintage style to any room. A perfect compliment to our push button light switches, it's made of heavy-duty black resin and features a luminous mother-of-pearl inlay (the pearl does not actually light up). The raised lettering pays homage to Granville Woods, African-American pioneer of dimmer technology in the 1890s. This knob is designed specifically for use with Lutron brand rotary dimmers. Measures 1 7/16" in diameter.

Hardware Tip

Granville woods is credited for inventing the first safe dimmer switch.

Fits our room perfectly

Comments:

I purchased the rotary dimmers for the second floor of my barn that I finished off. probably 90% of the materials I used were reclaimed or vintage. The reproduction dimmers fit in perfectly with the style of the room.

Great character to replace bland knobs!

Comments:

We have this great Art Deco-era apartment with picture-rail moulding, Schoolhouse Electric lamps and (HOAH-acquired) Deco-style switchplates and outlet covers. It was killing us to have those cheap white plastic knobs that come with dimmers at [...]These knobs are very chunky, solid, have a great texture and add that final touch of class and craftsmanship to our walls. I highly recommend them to anyone who considers the ""stock"" modern rotary dimmer knobs to be an eyesore.

Lovely little knob

Easy to install--just pull off the old one and snap this one into place. Nice retro look suits our 1920s bungalow perfectly!

Nice knob that does the job!

Does the job and matches the look we were going for to compliment our push button switches.

Nice not great

Comments:

I wasn't sure at first if the mother of pearl center had a piece of film over it or whether it was the actual surface of the knob and the plastic is not as nice as the porcelain knobs but overall it is pretty good
