    Light socket controllable by dimmer UK

    I have a double light switch where one switch is terminated into a wago clip. I'd like to replace these wagos with a socket as I'm not sure what sort of light to put on there. Is there a socket I can use that can be controlled by a dimmer switch?

    Multi way light switching

    Just an observation. Staircase serving 5 storeys….. how to turn on the light from any floor? See saw type rocker switch set into the ceiling and two really long bits of rope. I thought it was a pulley system for the servants of old to take heavy objects up to the guest bedrooms…. So I...
