You can use 120V incandescent bulbs and halogen bulbs along with these dimmer switches but you can’t use fluorescent bulbs and most compact fluorescent bulbs.

Dimmer switches can generally operate those bulbs that have wire filaments. This is present in 120V incandescent and halogen bulbs, therefore they can be operated using dimmer switches.

In case the halogen bulb have very less voltage then different dimmer switches are required.

Generally, there are single pole and 3-way dimmer switches. Choose the appropriate one for your application. If you want the light to be turned on via a single switch then you need a single pole dimmer switch and if you want it to be turned on by two switches then you need a 3-way dimmer switch. Note that in a 3-way lighting application only one of the switches can be a dimmer switch.

There’s nothing nicer than redecorating your bathroom. Firstly, it’s smaller than the other rooms in your home and not so intimidating when it is time to choose the correct fixtures or utilities.

The concept of a bathroom only became prevalent with the industrial revolution.

With things modernizing at the speed of light. So did plumbing, fashion and decor. Toilets moved inside the home and took up a place in a bathroom, consisting of a bath tub, a toilet and a wash basin perched on a table or sorts.
