Dimmer Switches by Blue Marble Lighting

When should I use a dimmer switch?

A dimmer switch can be used with “bright fixtures,” such as chandeliers, pendants and even bath lights, to adjust the amount of light given depending on the activity of the room.  To use the dimmer switch effectively, use brighter lighting for parties or dim the lights for a quieter, more intimate setting.

Do dimmers provide energy and cost savings?

Yes.  Dimming does provide energy savings and related cost savings.  An incandescent lamp dimmed 25%, extends lamp life by 4 times and saves 20% on electricity.
