To install a dimmer switch you will need to get in touch licensed electrician, preferably a DCN one 😉
With a dimmer switch, you can dim all types of light bulbs including incandescent or halogen light globes from 100% all the way down to just 5% of original strength.

One secret that electricians seldom share is to dimming your lights down to 0 before switching off your light. This means when you turn the lights back on, your light bulb wont go from cold to hot straight away. Just like a car engine, the light will now go from cold to warm, then to full operating temperature, rather than straight to max power. This is gentler on the bulb’s operating parts and will increase the life and quality of your lighting installation.
As we all things in life, you get what you pay for. By investing in good quality branded light bulbs rather than cheapies you will again save money in the long term.
