    Single Gange Outlet + Dimmer Switch

    I am looking for a single gang outlet + dimmer switch combination. Does such an item exist? It's for a kitchen backsplash the outlet would be unswitched and the dimmer/switch would control a light over the sink. The whole backsplash is on a GFI so I don't need a GFI in this device. -Kevin
