Can I change a dimmer switch myself?
Most dimmers are designed to fit a standard wall box opening, which makes it easy to replace the switch for any incandescent or halogen light with a dimmer. This guide will show you how to install a dimmer switch by yourself, in a relatively short amount of time.
