How Do Dimmer Switches Work?

A regular light switch regulates the flow of electricity to your light fixture with a simple ON/OFF connector. When in the ON position, electricity is allowed to flow freely to the light fixture, while the OFF position moves the connectors away, which halts the power connection.

With a dimmer switch, you can turn on the electrical connection, but instead of electrical power flowing freely, you can regulate how much power the light fixture receives.

For example, consider a battery-operated flashlight. When the batteries start to run down—aka, less electrical power to the light—the light of the flashlight is dimmer. Instead of having a run-down battery, you can control the level of light from full brightness to low lighting, all by moving a switch. That’s why most modern dimmer switches have a control you can slide, giving you fine control over your home lighting.

Benefits of Dimmer Switches

There are many reasons why you should invest in dimmer switches.

Some of the benefits of them include:

• Save on electricity – As dimmer switches throttle the amount of electricity used, you can enjoy lower electric bills by having these switches installed.

• Increase light bulb life – Along with saving on the electric bill, with less power connecting with the light bulb, your bulbs can last far longer. This benefit is especially handy if people in your home tend to leave the lights on in unoccupied rooms.

• Set the mood – Whether you want to set the stage for a romantic date or your kids want to dim the lights and have a ghost storytelling sleepover, dimmer switches are perfect to help set the mood.

• Avoid disturbing others – Whether you wake up early for work or have somewhere to be before the rest of your family, it’s hard to get ready without turning on a light. To avoid being that person at work with mismatched socks or worse, using a dimmer switch can make the light less intrusive and spare you wardrobe mishaps.

If these examples resonated, you will be happy to know that your current light switches can be easily replaced by our electricians. While swapping out regular light switches for dimmer switches can be difficult for those who don’t have an electrician background, our team of lighting specialists are well-trained as well as licensed, and they can make quick work out of swapping out your light switches for dimmers.
