What is a floor dimmer?

A floor dimmer is a handy device that allows you to adjust the strength of a light source. Using a floor dimmer, you can change the strength of all the lamps in your home. This allows you to make a lamp or other light source shine less brightly.

This is handy when you want to have a cosy movie night, for instance. By connecting a light dimmer to your lamps, you can dim the lamps in your home, creating a cosy living room.

How to install such a light dimmer, where to buy such a light dimmer and its advantages are explained below.

How many types of floor dimmers are there?

When buying a floor dimmer, it is important to take a few things into account. First of all, you need to know what kind of lighting you want to order a floor dimmer for. You need to know whether you are looking for a dimmer for an incandescent lamp, a halogen lamp, an energy-saving lamp or an LED lamp. This is because there are different types of dimmers for different types of lamps.

In addition, you also need to know the wattage of your lamp. This is important to determine the strength of your dimmer. Finally, it is also important to know whether you need a transformer and whether this is already built into the lamp you want to equip with a floor dimmer.

Below, we give you a brief overview of some of the different types of floor dimmers:

• Floor dimmers for Led lighting
• Floor dimmers for light bulbs
• Floor dimmers for energy-saving lamps
• Floor dimmers for CFL lamps

So it is always important to buy the right floor dimmer for your lamp. If you are looking for a floor dimmer for an incandescent lamp, you will obviously need to buy one that is suitable for incandescent lamps.

How do I install a floor dimmer?

Although installing a floor dimmer may seem difficult and complicated, installing this device is quite simple. This is because we believe that anyone can safely and quickly install a floor dimmer on a lamp. How to do that exactly and as safely as possible, we'll explain to you now.

To install a floor dimmer, you can simply use a lamp's existing power cord. You need to cut the cord wire into two pieces, then strip a small piece of the power cord (often a small 0.5-centimetre piece is enough).

This is how easy it is to connect a floor dimmer to your lamps. In just a few minutes, the job is done and you can enjoy beautiful dimmable lighting in your home.
