Can I dim from more than One location?

Formula stating that if you double the distance from the light source, the light level goes down by a factor of 4, if you triple the distance, it goes down by a factor of 9, and so on. The lines represent the flux emanating from the source. The total number of flux lines depends on the strength of the source and is constant with increasing distance. A greater density of flux lines (lines per unit area) means a stronger field. The density of flux lines is inversely proportional to the squar...

When dimmers are in the same wallbox, they are considered "ganged". To install ganged dimmers, simply remove the dimmer side sections from the heat sink (side tabs). The maximum wattage capacity for each dimmer is reduced (derated) so that the dimmer does not overheat.

The first step is to determine what type of transformer is in the lighting fixture. Due to the fact that there are different characteristics of the two transformer types; they require special dimming considerations. For example: A low voltage fixture with a magnetic transformer requires a magnetic low voltage dimmer.  The same will be true for Electronic Low Voltage, Florescent, etc.Add the total wattage for the bulbs that will be used by this dimmer.  This is known as the 'load'. ...

Yes, a 3 way dimmer will replace one of the 3 way switches. A 4 way circuit can be dimmed from all switch locations by using a Multi-Location dimmer and 2 Accessory Dimmers such as Maestro, Spacer, Spacer System or Faedra.

To use a compact fluorescent bulb on a dimmer switch, you must buy a bulb that's specifically made to work with dimmers (check the package). We don't recommend using regular compact fluorescent bulbs with dimming switches, since this can shorten bulb life.
