Dimmers


You can replace any interior single-pole switch with a dimmer if the box is large enough to accommodate the larger body of the dimmer. Don’t try to pack it into a tight or overcrowded box because this is a fire hazard (see the instruction sheet that comes with the dimmer). Dimmer switches come with about four inches of their own wiring or lead wires (line and load and ground wire) ready to connect with cable from the circuit with wire nuts.
