Wall dimmers
A wall dimmer is an excellent light dimmer built in to replace a traditional light switch. A wall dimmer is always built into a wall and can control an entire light group connected to the same switch.
We explain more about wall dimmers, and why they are so convenient and inexpensive. Be sure to have a look in our web shop if you are looking for good wall dimmers.
The benefits of wall dimmers
Many people say: once you use wall dimmers, you can never live without them. And that's right! Wall dimmers are much more convenient and better than traditional light switches. Why and what all the advantages of wall dimmers are, we briefly explain below.
- Reduced energy consumption: Wall dimmers allow you to change the light intensity of your lamps. This allows you to reduce the intensity of your light and thus your energy consumption. This will benefit your energy bill and your wallet!
- Create a nicer atmosphere: Using a wall dimmer, you can make your rooms more atmospheric and cosy. For instance, when you organise a movie night or a cosy dinner at home, you can darken the living room with a wall dimmer. That is much cosier than an overexposed room.
- Longer life of your lamps: This is especially true if you often reduce the light intensity of your lamps. That way, your bulbs don't have to shine as hard, and they can last longer. Another benefit for your wallet!
What different wall dimmers are there?
Of course, wall dimmers come in many different types. To get you started choosing the right wall dimmer for your lights, we have made a short list of the most common wall dimmers below.

Yes, you read it right: from the couch and with your smartphone! So you no longer have to get up especially to turn your wall dimmer. Handy, isn't it?
Where can I install wall dimmers?
The best place to hang a wall dimmer depends on a number of factors. In general, it is best to hang a wall dimmer at eye level. This makes it easy to operate and adjust the light intensity of your lamps.
Wall dimmers are often hung at the entrance to a room so that they can be used as soon as you enter. Yet in some cases, wall dimmers are not hung near the door, but rather near the sofa or table. This way, you are closer to the wall dimmer when you are busy in the room.
In a bedroom, it is best to place a wall dimmer as close to the bed as possible. This way, you can control the intensity of your lights from bed, and if necessary also switch off your lights at bedtime.
Finally, in a bathroom the wall dimmer is often hung near a mirror and thus far enough away from the water. This allows you to quickly and easily adjust the light intensity of your lamps while shaving or applying make-up.
So there is no such thing as the ideal place for a wall dimmer. The room where the wall dimmer will hang and your preferences mean that you have to choose where to place it. So think carefully before installing your wall dimmer so that you don't regret the position of your light dimmer later.
Can I connect wall dimmers myself?
Anyone, yes you read correctly, anyone can connect wall dimmers themselves. It's really not that difficult, and each wall dimmer comes with clear instructions. So you can - even if you're not the most handy person on earth - connect your wall dimmers yourself.
