More About Dimmers
Dimmer Switch at LAMPS PLUS - Lighting controls such as dimmers give you the flexibility to design a lighting plan with multiple uses and multiple decorative effects. You can lower the lighting for intimate dinners, adjust ceiling lights for movie watching, or dim table lamps and floor lamps. You'll also be saving energy: dimming a bulb by 50% will cut electricity usage a whopping 40% over time and make bulbs last 20 times longer. Most wall switch mounted models can be easily installed without professional help.
Dimmer lighting controls will work in virtually every home, no matter how old, without the need for costly rewiring. Dimmers come in a wide variety of control styles, including touch dimmers, wall dimmers, rotary dimmers and elaborate multi-set dimmer systems. New on the market are remote control units that allow you to control a number of table lamps or floor lamps from one central remote. Popular styles include Lutron dimmers, Lightolier dimmers, table and floor dimmers and wireless remote dimmers. Use a dimmer with table lamps, floor lamps, ceiling lighting, and wall lighting to create a total lighting look for your home.
