Note: wiring option 3 could work as follows: provide power to the spdt switch, then connect both downstream terminals to the dpdt switch. also, it would mean having separate switches and dimmers on each end, which takes up more space and might not look as nice or be as intuitive. the downsides to this plan include more wiring (which could get expensive).

if you install a spdt switch and a dimmer on one end, plus a dpdt switch and dimmer on the other end, then you can use the switches to determine which dimmer is "hot". the downside being that if the dimmer is set low on one side, you can't turn it on or off from the other side.Ģ switches and 2 dimmers. these look like normal dimmers, but when one side is turned on, it disables the other side. the downsides being that they are always drawing some power, they're pricey and they don't have a physical dial showing the dimmer setting.ģ-way dimmers. these are fancy master/slave pairs that communicate digitally. I also found a diagram that has power at one dimmer and the lights at the other but not both power and lights from the same dimmer and ran a temp power line to the 2nd dimmer but even though the likes worked from either switch the dimmers did not work. This is especially useful to control recessed lighting above staircases where you want to be able to adjust the brightness from the top and bottom of the stairs. Unlike standard dimmers, electronic dimmers can be installed at both control points in a 3-way circuit. Tried using a diagram that was shown on here ( ) but it did not work. Most have LED indicator lights that display the light level. It is designed to control a broad range of dimmable LED and CFL bulbs from a variety of brands including Philips, Cree, GE, EcoSmart and Lighting Science.

This dimmer works with up to 150-Watt of dimmable LED/CFL or 600-Watt of incandescent/halogen, allowing you to control multiple bulb types on the same circuit. I have only tried hooking up one set of lights to for testing purposes and can't get both dimmers to work. The Diva LED+ dimmer provides optimal dimming performance of LED bulbs. I have run 3 sets of 14/3 wire between from this location to another location where I intend to have a 2nd set of dimmer switches further into the room. I also have the power source running to this switch location on 14/2. I then ran 14/2 from the start of each group to the entrance to the room where I intend to have 3 separate dimmer switches, one for each group. Once 30 seconds have passed, the user needs to repeat the steps above. I have hung 12 recessed lights and connected them in 3 groups (groups of 2, 6 and 4 lights) using 14/2. The dimmer can enter the low-end trim level adjustment mode for only 30 seconds after it is turned ON. Refinishing my basement and have an open ceiling at the moment.
