It's fine and simple
I liked it because it worked, as one would. These things are quite confusing; the wires can be of non-standard colours and the design varies. The Y0utube tutorials are poor as well. The demonstrators sometimes waffle on pointlessly or don't strip the wires back far enough, so all you see is fingers and Stanley knives. But, that said, this device was easy to fit and does the job.

Good - But check you know how to wire in!
The media could not be loaded. A new touch lamp I bought failed and I couldn’t get back to the store to exchange as it was the last one on display (maybe that’s why it was faulty and they knew!).Anyways, ordered one of these - came within 24hrs.*Wiring Up*Like most, I searched for the guides online but for those who don’t want to bother, feel free to look at the image I used online attached to this review to help. It was perfect and the clearest I could find without watching a ton of videos.I have fitted a 40w bulb to my touch lamp, and the unit is emitting a funny smell when on.I’ll keep it on a while to see if it disappears as it’s not getting very hot or anything. Could be the flux in the solder evaporating. The board on the unit does look a little cheap and sometimes this is the cause.*Update* - Smell now gone after 24hrs from unit.Must have been flux on board evaporating.Any updates I’ll post on here but as long as you can do basic wiring, it should be no problem.I soldered all my wires and used ‘heat shrink’ to ensure a good connection. The wires are a little thin from what I expected mind but works none the less.UPDATE:Ordered my second one now to covert an existing bedside lamp for my son from the rocker switch type to touch. Work a treat and no more stretching my arm down the back of the bed trying to find the power rocker switch.See video for wiring and then final image with all the heat shrink to secure the connections.Wrks a dream! May look for more lamps to covert to touch after this considering how cheap the product is.Use E14 Osram 300degree bulbs in the lamp (40w) as LED bulbs won’t allow you to dim on the 3 settings this black box has. (TOP TIP!)Enjoy.

Absolute rubbish
I decided to order this despite the poor reviews because I thought I might be able to use some of the parts. As others have said, the parts are smaller than on the original board and the cables are thinner. I also found that most of the solder joints were very suspect. Decided not to harvest parts, and resoldered all the joints, removed the cables and soldered the board to the cables on the lamp. NOTHING!Fortunately I had also ordered another make, which is just on/off touch module. I installed that one and it worked fine.AVOID THIS SUPPLIER AND THIS PRODUCT!!!

Easy to replace a failed one.
Bought to replace a burnt out module in a four year old John Lewis table lamp. Suspect that the original one might have failed as a result of a fluorescent bulb being fitted, rather than a filament bulb.This replacement module was easy to fit and has been working for several months now (with a proper filament bulb). Not quite sure how these lamps will survive , once filament bulbs are no longer available.

Care needed.
The item was received without any instructions accept for the wiring diagram on the casing. The wiring colours were not typical of current UK wiring so care was needed when connecting it up. The item works but seems more sensitive to mains voltage fluctuations compared to the unit it replaced as it may turn on or change the dimmer setting without actually touching the lamp. The label on the clear plastic bag the item came in was written in Italian. The item was made in China. I currently have the lamp connected to a timer to stop it coming on when not needed.

Great replacement for a touch control lamp
The device works well. and you will need a little skill fitting it as no instructions. If you are an electrician this is no problem but can be slightly confusing for a DIY person. All in it done the job perfectly

Good but .....
I had to do some internet research to confirm how this switch should be wired into a UK lamp. The switch works fine after installation using wiring diagram from internet.

size is good equivalent to original
good length of tails to allow for unit siting in lamp
