My favorite as far as looks go are the Ripley SunSwitches from the 60s through the 90s. As far as favorite for reliability, I've found Fisher Pierce PCs were always more reliable up until the Sun-Tech merger in 2003. As far as currently-made PCs, I think Ripley is probably the most reliable. DTL is pretty good stuff too but made in China. Ripley stuff is USA-made.

Yep, Ripley controls are best for lighting applications.
