What is a cord dimmer?
A cord dimmer is used to control the light intensity of a lamp with a plug. This dimmer is connected to the wiring of the loose lamp and occupies a position between the lamp and the end of the plug.
A cord dimmer is mainly used to control single lamps, such as a table lamp or a desk lamp. Due to their small size, cord dimmers do not stand out and can easily be placed on the table. This way, they are always within reach and you can dim your lamps or make them shine brighter again at any time.
The advantages of cord dimmers
Just now we briefly mentioned the ease of use of cord dimmers. This is because they are very compact, so they can always be within reach, without being annoying or in the way on your table.
Besides their handy and small size, they are also good for your wallet and energy bill. A cord dimmer allows you to reduce the light intensity of your lamps. Partly because of this, they eat less power, which is a more than welcome benefit during this energy crisis.
Not only is being able to adjust the light intensity of your lamps good for your wallet, it is also a nice way to create a cosy atmosphere. For example, when you have a cosy dinner party, you can adjust the light intensity of your table lamps using a cord dimmer. Romantic right?
Finally, a cord dimmer makes your lamps last longer. By regularly reducing the brightness of your lamps, you ensure that the lifespan of your wire lamps is extended. Another benefit for your wallet!

Is a plug dimmer the same as a cord dimmer?
Although a plug dimmer and a cord dimmer look very similar, and they have almost the same function, these devices are not the same. They are both used to control the brightness of a lamp, but they work in a different way.
A plug dimmer is a device that is placed between the plug of the lamp and a socket. It allows the electrical power of the lamp to be controlled and the lamp's brightness to be set higher or lower.
A cord dimmer, on the other hand, is a device placed in the cord of a lamp. The main advantage of a cord dimmer is its ease of use. It is easier to install than a cord dimmer, as no extra cables are needed. Moreover, a cord dimmer can be used for different lamps.
Can I connect a cord dimmer myself?
You certainly can. Anyone, expert or not, can easily connect a cord dimmer themselves. To help you get started, we have prepared a short and simple step-by-step plan for you. This way, you can quickly and safely install a cord dimmer on your wired lamps.
-
Unplug the lamp you want to fit with a cord dimmer. This is an important step to avoid dangerous situations. Do not forget!
-
Unscrew the cord switch of your lamp and disconnect all electrical wires. Put the cord switch aside and store it safely for when you need it again later.
-
Unscrew your cord dimmer and connect your lamp's wires in place. Make sure you connect the electrical wires in the right place. Consult the manual provided for this.
-
When the wires are connected in the right way, you can proceed to unscrew your cord dimmer. When it is properly and firmly closed, you can reconnect your lamp to the wall socket.
Connecting a cord dimmer yourself is really not that difficult, but always do it according to the manufacturer's guidelines. This way, you avoid dangerous situations.
