I have a hall and landing. (2 way Switch)

Is there any way to use a Dimmer Switch?

Regards,

a 2 way dimmer switch perhaps.

Yes, fit a dimmer switch.

Use a 2 way dimmer and replace one switch only.

Just be carefull, and check the depth of the back box will accomodate the dimmer switch.

You can fit a matching switch at the other end just buy yourself a on/off module it will look like a dimmer but its not that way it will intergate better haveing matching switches both upstairs and downstairs .and if it has a metal face plate dont forget to earth it ( most important)

What about all the other switches in the rest of the house?

You can get master/slave dimmers - but why bother? a dimmer at one location is fine - make sure it's a 2way dimmer (will be push on/push off type).

Most dimmers will work on low voltage (wattage????), but the transformer will need to be a dimmable type if elecronic, and you will need to downrate the dimmers max watts accordingly.

Commonly (no pun), the common terminal is marked with a squiggle (variable) rather than a C.
