How to wire two one gang dimmable switches and one intermediate switch ?

Archie22 · Dec 19, 2023

Hi all, currently doing a job at a house where there are 3 switches In the hallway to control the hall lights. All 1 gang switches, one at entrance one in middle and one at exit, middle is an intermediate, other two are two way , the client wants all switches changed to dimmable. If I change the two at the entrance and exit to dimmable and keep the intermediate as a regular switch should this work? Or will having two dimmable switches in the circuit affect it ? Thanks for any help with this query,

I’ve already replied on the old thread you used. Hopefully admin can trim that off….

No, you can’t have 2 dimmers on same switching circuit unless you go with smart switches. Possibly needing a neutral at each switch.

The old thread, that our friend hijacked, is here 2 dimmers on 2 way switching - https://www.electriciansforums.net/threads/2-dimmers-on-2-way-switching.149495/page-2
