What Are Dimmer Switches?
Dimmer switches are used to adjust the brightness of a light in a room – allowing them to make lights brighter or softer, based on preference. These devices work by changing the voltage waveform in a light. Altering this allows the light’s intensity to be adjusted. These lights let you throw intimate dinner parties, lower the lights in a family room for movie night, and dim the lights to mimic the sunset to help you get sleepy at night.
Where To Install Dimmer Switches in Your House?
Dimmer switches can be installed in various rooms in your home. While one of the most popular locations is a dining room, you can also install them in these locations:
- Bathroom: Let yourself adjust to the new day by dimming the lights first thing in the morning. You can also dim them for relaxation if you are taking a bath.
- Bedroom: Lower the lights at the end of the day to help you wind down and get ready for bed.
- Kitchen: Brighten the lights while cooking and then dim them at night when you only need a bit of light when getting a snack.
- Hallways: Dim the lights to act as a night-light overnight to increase safety in your home.
- Living Room: Lower the lights when watching TV or a movie to create a more relaxing environment.
- Porch: Help keep intruders away by dimming the lights at night on your porch.

What To Know When Buying Dimmer Switches?
When purchasing dimmer switches for your home it’s important to be informed before you make a selection to ensure you are choosing the best option. Some items to make sure you consider include:
- Make sure the dimmer switch matches the fixture’s technology so it works properly. Find out if you need line voltage, low voltage magnetic, low voltage electronic, 0-10V LED, or fluorescent power supplies.
- Know how much of a load you will be putting on the dimmer.
- Know where you are installing the dimmer and how many devices will be located near it.
- Know if the fixtures can be controlled by one or more locations (single pole dimmer or 3-way, for example).
