Description
Hmmm why on earth would you need to install a few 3-way dimmer light switches anyway? Good question because most 3-way light switches are not dimmable. VideoJoe will be installing 2 different 3-way dimmer switches & if you watch the preview video you will get an idea why you might want to install a 3-way dimmer light switch.
Now on a set of existing standard style 3-way light switches, you really don't have to replace both light switches with 2 different 3-way dimmer switches as you can just pick & choose which standard 3-way light switch you would like to remove to install a 3-way dimmer switch for example.
In the middle of the night if you need to get up & go down a hall to the kitchen for example, you could just hit the 3-way dimmer wall switch that is already in the dim location so when you turn the lights on the lights are dim as to not shock you to where you have to squint every time you turn on the hall lights for instance.
That's what VideoJoe wants to do & then if you are on a second floor & need to go down a flight of stairs to the kitchen, you could install another 3-way dimmer switch for those lights too.
So if you choose to sigh up for this video course (& I hope you do), you will learn a few new things for why & where you might decide to install a few 3-way dimmer switches.
Hope to see you!
