Dimmer switch

Post by MJA »

Hi chaps,

I'm wanting to install a dimmer switch on my landing but there is another switch for the lights at the bottom of the stairs. I'm a right in thinking that the only way I can fit a dimmer would turn out to be a total pain in the arse to control ie if it was turned right down upstairs and I turn on at the bottom it will be dark still.


I know this probably sounds like a total dumbass question but I am a dumbass so I asked :wink:

Cheers,
Matt
