What are the different types of dimmer switches? How do I add a dimmer switch? Can you install dimmer switch on light with two switches?
A given switch has a specified limit on the total power it can control. Add up the total wattage of all the bulbs and if this is less than the limit for that dimmer , then it should work. Note that for LEDs you use the actual wattage not the equivalent wattage for an incandescent which gives the same illuminance (lumens). Unlike 3-way dimmer switches, which cannot support multiple dimmers on the circuit, multi-location dimmer switches allow for dimming controls in more than one location.
According to the testimonies of happy customers, Lutron’s dimmer is best utilized in combination with other Lutron Maestro products — a process that effectively streamlines your lighting, allowing the lights in multiple rooms to be controlled from a “master” switch. A multi-location dimmer switch means full dimming can be controlled from more than one location via multiple switches, like the top and bottom of the stairs. For dimming to work properly, only one multi-location dimmer should be used on a circuit with accessory dimmers used in each additional location.
Are you a fan of comfortable living? Well then a multi location dimmer is a device you should definitely have.
