Dimmer/switch

careerwumman

I want to change my bathroom lights to a dimmer switch. Problem is, the current switch facing is shared with the switch for the fan. There is only room for one facing on the wall (its between 2 doors). Has anyone ever seen a facing with one dimmer, one switch?

nope. but why not fit one dimmer switch panel directly above a normal switch panel?

Not sure if this would do?

Hi

Is your switch IN the bathroom? If yes then use the above .

have a look at the mk grid (sit down for the price of the dimmer module - < £30).

All in around £33-£40- for a light switch.

Also try the GET website.

you shouldn't use a dimmer switch with a fan- unless it is specifically made for it.

I've the (as per my post above) pull cord dimmer with an extract fan and LV lights all works fine. Really nice when laying in the bath and the lights dimmed :-D
