Have you considered how much money you spend each year simply keeping the lights on in your home? The lights in all the different rooms of your house all draw energy at different levels, and you might be spending more than you think. Dimmer switches are economical options for virtually any home that can transform interior spaces, provide complete control over your home’s inside lighting, and also provide savings on your home energy bills.
What Are Dimmer Switches?
A dimmer switch is a simple yet versatile addition to your home’s wiring. With a dimmer switch, you can control the brightness of a connected light to your preference. Dimmer switches come in several varieties, from full slider switches to traditional switches with adjacent slider mechanisms. When you have a dimmer switch installed, you can choose how dim or bright the connected light is at any time.
Best Places to Install Dimmer Switches
You can install dimmer switches in several places in your home:
- Dimmer switches can allow you to make your bedroom more comfortable throughout the day.
- A dimmer switch in the bathroom is great for late-night restroom trips, allowing you to turn the light on just enough to see without blinding yourself after waking up.
- Similar to the benefit of having a dimmer switch in the bathroom, a dimmer switch in the kitchen can be a perfect way to handle early-morning coffee brewing and late-night snacking without blinding yourself with a bright overhead light.
- Living room. If your living room is where your family gathers to watch movies and TV, a dimmer switch allows you to create a movie theater effect for more comfortable viewing.
These are just a few ways to use dimmer switches effectively, and while you enjoy these benefits you will also save money by ensuring your lights only brighten exactly as much as you need whenever you turn them on.
