Hi, I’ve had some great advice here in the past and hoping you guys can help me out again with two questions I have re dimmer switches
I have some spot lights in a 10m long hallway that are controlled by 3 switches - one by the door (a one gang LED dimmer switch), then an intermediary rocker switch in the middle and then another rocker switch at the far end.
I bought these switches as this is what my electrician told me to get, but he has now told me that the dimmer is incompatible with the rocker switches and that they have to be all rocker switches. Ideally I would like the lights to be dimmable - so is it possible for me to have three dimmer switches instead? Or will this not work if controlled by three separate switches...?
2) the bathroom has a two gang dimmer switch (wall lights and spot lights) but as it controls the extractor fan also, one of the controls is a dummy dimmer so only one light is dimmable...in another bathroom renovation I had done not long ago I had a double dimmer which controlled the fan but both switches were dimmable...in an ideal world I’d like to be able to dim both lights, is this possible?
Thank you!
Nikki
