Multi-location dimmers do use standard 3-way wiring, but make use of one wire for communications while the other carries the load current. 3-way dimmers may only be located in either of the 3-way switch positions.Ĭan I use a standard 3-way switch with a multi-location dimmer? The removal of these fins reduces the capacity (load) the dimmer can control.Ĭan I use a 3-way dimmer in the 4-way switch location? The fins are grooved to make the removal of fins easy with a pair of pliers. Our INTERMEDIATE SWITCH is a single toggle designer light switch made from solid metal with diamond-cut knurled knob. To do this, a portion of the fins (heat sink) must be removed. Dimmers can be ganged together such that the space between them is the same as for switches. This increased size helps the dimmer dissipate the internal heat normal to operation. With other dimmers, you can only dim from one location and have an on/off switch at the other location.Ī typical dimmer is wider than a switch.
Note: Only certain dimmers allow the ability to dim from more than one location-example: Maestro or Faedra.
