What is the difference between this '2 way' dimmer switch and the 'regular' dimmer switch? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006...

I would say a 2-way switch IS a "regular" dimmer switch..versus a 3-way that is used when you control the same device from either of two switch locations. I use my Z-wave 2-way switch in conjunction with my Nexia app to remotely turn on:off or dim a light at home. It works great!...hope this helps.

This switch is NOT dimmable. It is a relay type On/Off and makes a distinct 'cluck' when pressed. I have replaced several X10 switches with this one to control Fluorescent lights. A X10 dimmer switch passes a low voltage signal thru the lamp all the time it is 'off' to make up the circuit. Some companies market a dimmable CFL but I would not use them with X10 dimmers.

Not according to my electrician, at least not with the LED fixtures that I purchased to use with these switches. I had to use 'conventional' dimmer switches, which worked fine.

Hi Tom, That's actually my current setup. I used to have 1 dimmer and 2-regular non-dimmer switches and I replaced one of the non-dimmer switches with Honeywell timer switch. As long as each switches are independent to each other, it should not be an issue. Btw, I'm not a professional electrician so this response is just based on my current home setup.- Joel

Hi, this depends on what type of switch it is. I think this product is a 2 way switch. If it is, no it won't work. If you are installing this in a 3 way setup where there is another 3 way switch, then the dimmer has to be a 3 way dimmer switch. Another thing to keep in mind is that the light you want to dim has to be able to be dimmable. Example, if it is a flourescent light it must be a dimmable type. Usually incandescent or halogen bulbs are used where dimmers are used. Hope this helps

Hi There, I wish I could answer you but my application does not make use of a dimmer just a standard on/off switch. Based on my experience with LED technology I would only trust the manufacturer in the case GE to answer the question. When I ordered the bulb I spoke to GE tech support and they were very helpful and responsive. I hope this help you. Fred Thomas

My husband says any fixture can have a dimmer switch attached to it. He says the only requirement for using a dimmer is that you need to pick out the right bulbs for it (ones that allow dimmers). Also, some fixtures may "buzz" a bit with dimmers, and the noise depends on the switch and the bulbs that you purchase. We don't have a dimmer switch attached to these two Progress Lighting fixtures we bought, but we hung them with the bulbs down and used LED lights in them - and we are very pleased with them. We've had them for almost a year now. They look great, light up the room well, and with LED bulbs, they use a lot less energy. (We have dimmers on other fixtures and get a quiet buzzing on a couple of those; we hardly notice the sound when we dim them though.) Good luck!

I think you could dim it from the switch also.... I know you could from the dimmer, however I did away with these type switches.....they started coming on by themselves. I went with the heavy duty models and never had any more trouble.

To hook up a 3 way Switch you need a common carrier using 14/3 NMD wire. On the Dimmers they are meant for single hook ups. There is only A black and red wire coming out of the Dimmer with a green ground wire. Don't take a chance trying as you could blow the Dimmer completely. If you have a friend that is an Electrician I am sure that he will tell you the same thing as I just did. I am a Licensed Electrician here in Canada so it cannot be used in a three way application. Sorry Buddy.

We have a two way switch, one for fan and one for light which is on a dimmer. You don't need anything special.

There's no dimmer switch. Just an on and off switch. Unfortunately there's no way to din the light unless you add your own dimmer.

Not sure , if you can dime I do not have a dimmer switch. However I can tell you I bought 2 of them and many crystals came damaged and some parts didn't fit correctly, bad directions to put together .they did send new parts and it is a beautiful light.

Do you mean you have two of these switches? I'm not sure what a "double" toggle switch is. I have two switching two different lighting systems in the same room. each remote will operate two separate switches: on/off and dimming each lighting system separately. Its a great feature. The cabinet might be a problem. My system works by bouncing the control signal off a wall. I'm not positive it will work through (or around) a cabinet. You will just have to try it. If it doese work, I can say its a great system!

I don't know exactly, but my electrician installed this dimmer switch and it works well for us:http://www.homedepot.com/p/Lutron-Toggler-600-Watt-Single-Pole-Dimmer-White-TG-600PR-WH/100672882

The seller recommended the following dimmer switch: http://www.homedepot.com/p/t/202517700?catalogId=10053&langId;=-1&storeId;=10051&N;=5yc1vZx6Zc34h&R;=202517700#.UWTN1cWzms0

Let me preface by saying I am not an electrician, but I am fairly certain that you may use the RF switch without using the other 3-way dimmer in the package. The system should work fine with any standard 3-way switch system. I didn't need the extra either, but it was so easy to change, I used it as well. Hope this helps.

As far as I know that would be based on the bulbs you use, instead of the light fixture. I will read the box, but I'm almost certain you could put a dimmer switch on the light. Hope that is helpful. Thank you-Matt
