I am not an electrician.
So any help would be appreciated.
I have 1 standard switch in the bedroom for a standard light/1 bulb.
Could I just use a dimming switch to change the standard one to get a dimming light ??

I've done my research to find the correct components but it kinda messy..
Does anyone have experience with dimming outdoor lights, specifically have them set at around 50% dusk till dawn, but be at 100% when presences is detected via a PIR or Microwave sensor.
Any help, much appreciated 👍

I replaced a ceiling fan with one with a LED light. The switch is a Lutron MACL-LFQH light/fan dimmer switch and the fan has a Lutron CM-L300FQ1 fan module wired into it. The fan speed goes up/down as expected from the switch. The light, however, dims very little with the switch, and at the...
We are working on updating a house from 1981. A little backstory about the house: the previous owner bought it new and, based on stories from neighbors, she almost never used any lights. She’d wake up at sunrise and go to bed at sunset and never turn on any lights. All of the appliances were...
Hi, I think I need to state that I'm a DIYer? I have A-level physics and tinker with vintage audio gear but I'm no professional electrician.
Looking for advice with my floorstanding dimmable lamp. It's roughly 30 years old. It has two bulbs, an adjustable reading light that is working fine, but...
I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey that has dash lights that are a combination of LED and incandescent. Most of the incandescent lights do not work. That results in my radio backlight and most of the buttons being off. I have tried to track down this issue and haven't found it. The factory dimmer...

I have a 75w led fitting with dali dimming balast init. If i add dimmer in on the line, it flickers.
It has dal/N and dal/L, dim function on ballast..
Do i need dali digital dimmer to suit lights
I am looking for a good way to dim incandescent lightbulbs.
I do not want the normal Triac dimmers that you buy at the store that work by cutting the duty phase. These cause flickering, cause humming, reduce the lifespan of the bulb, and do not dim below a high threshold.
I also do not want...

Just installed LED undermount lights in my kitchen. They’re on a circuit with just one outlet. I wired 7 circuits during the kitchen remodel. The microwave is on its own circuit, but when I use it, the undermount lights dim. What could be the cause of this? The lights are on an “approved”...

What the title says plus a bit more. Ever since a few days ago our house's lights have been getting either very dim or very bright. Also my box fan will ramp up in speed. Sometimes lights will go out all together. All this happens in complete synchronization. At one point the power went out for...
Hi!
DIY electrical guy here. I am hoping someone can point me in some direction on this. I live in Ohio if that helps. We bought this house a year ago and it has always been a problem. The general inspector didn't note anything really out of the ordinary with our setup, but he was not an...
