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.

"It works" and "it's safe" are not necessarily the same thing. With DIY work, they are often far from the same thing.
