Dimmer Switch?

Featured Replies

a 2 way dimmer switch perhaps.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.


Just be carefull, and check the depth of the back box will accomodate the dimmer switch.

Use a 2 way dimmer and replace one switch only.

You can fit a matching switch at the other end just buy yourself a on/off module it will look like a dimmer but its not that way it will intergate better haveing matching switches both upstairs and downstairs .and if it has a metal face plate dont forget to earth it ( most important)

that way it will intergate better haveing matching switches both upstairs and downstairs

What about all the other switches in the rest of the house?

You can get master/slave dimmers - but why bother? a dimmer at one location is fine - make sure it's a 2way dimmer (will be push on/push off type).

Most dimmers will work on low voltage (wattage????), but the transformer will need to be a dimmable type if elecronic, and you will need to downrate the dimmers max watts accordingly.

Commonly (no pun), the common terminal is marked with a squiggle (variable) rather than a C.
