Can this be used (minus plate) to replace 1 switch in a 3 or 4 switch box? Will the actual switch plus dimmer lever be too wide for the plate hole?

I installed this switch in a box with 3 other switches (4 total). If I remember correctly, there are 1/8th inch or so wide "break-off" tabs on both sides of the switch that when bent back and forth and broken off, will result in more narrow width profile, that allows more room for the other switchs.

I did exactly what you are asking about. They are standard size. I had 3 switches on one plate, replaced two with the Lutron dimmers and used the same wall plate. Yes, the switch plus dimmer is same width.

Yes, it is standard size and can be used in a 3 or 4 switch box. It os not too wide for any standard size plate hole.

Yes. the switch/dimmer slider is the width of a normal switch. It fits in a standard wall plate. I'm using mine in a 3 switch box where 2 of the switches are dimmers and the 3rd is a normal switch.

The switch plus slider are together the same size as a normal switch. So it will fit.The actual switch is thinner on this than a typical switch.

yes, the switch on/off is smaller than normal to allow for the slide feature of the dimmer. So overall the switch is the same width of a regular on/off switch

Not quite sure I understand your question. But, I remember taking the old switch off (it was a three gang box) and thought Whoa this will never fit!! Well I attached all wires and kept jamming it back in till it DID fit. I was so proud of myself I bought a second switch for a FOUR gang and installed that one too! I'm applying for an electricians license next week.

Not sure about your existing switch, but it should work. My wall switch works, but I also mounted the remote on the wall, because it comes with a neat little holster for it, because it has a dimmer on the remote and you can easily adjust speed settings with it. Your dimmer will probably work, but you may not have the ability to adjust the speed with the wall switch you already have. This is an outstanding, sleek, and well made product I would recommend. I installed it myself. It even has a hook to hold the weight while you mount and hook up the wiring, if I remember correctly.

No, not enough room in the box. You would have to cut drywall and replace with a larger one. This switch needs a whole single and a deep one at that.

I've never done that. I've only installed this in a room with a very distant single box, wanting to put the switch nearer the door. That said, I don't see any reason you couldn't install it in a 3-gang box with a decorator plate. It would be worth a try (keeping all packaging, receipts, etc. in case you need to return it).

If they are a true dimmable buld this switch should work fine. I have used several of these with no issues. Great product.

Have this switch installed on a machine right now. Box measures 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 3" deep. Hope this helps.

I would say no. The switch is the size of a standard dimmer. The switch would probably physically fit into the box, but there would be no room for wires.

I didn't get a switch or wire with my single 4" square. But then again I mounted it under the back and wired it directly into my trailer plug as a reverse light. Hope this helped.

While I have not used these with a dimmer switch, I see no reason why not. In effect the converter is just a conductor between the two different types of connectors.

No, the box has to be at least 3"x4". Just kidding. Box size is not relevant. I tried dimming mine with a standard dimming switch, and like all LEDs, they dim okay to a point, then things start flickering and acting weird. There may be other dimmer switches you can put in that work best with LEDs, but the "normal" ones created to take incandescent bulbs from super low glow to bright only work to a point with LEDs. If you only want to dim them a little, you're good, but if you want to dim them way down, you're not.

Use a single hole wall plate. It would be the exact same wall plate as would be used for a light switch. The wall plates can be purchased in different colors and shades.

I installed this in a double electrical box that had one switch for a light and one for a fan. I installed it using the fan switch wiring only and kept the light switch the same using the original double switch plate to cover both. Long way of saying Yes.

3/4 inch hole. And it won't fit into a simple 3/4 inch hole. The switch has a little bump to prevent the switch from spinning around in the hole. So make sure you cut out a little notch too. Do not make it bigger than. 3/4 or it defeats the purpose.

Most likely it will work, but you're leaving half of the switch unused. Most Lowes, Home Depot and Menard's carry the switch that you need for less money.

I believe the remote switch is bigger than the singles in the double toggle, therefore you MAY have a problem with the face plate cover, but the remote switch fits fine in a regular single box. Sorry I couldn't check but mine is behind our headboard and hard to get to.....

No restrictions... This bulb fit right into our existing socket and worked with the dimmer switch we already had. I imagine it would be just the same for you!
