    Hey everyone,

    I want to replace my current light switch with a dimmer switch. This single light switch controls 2 different lights. Will I need to get a single dimmer switch to replace the single light switch or would it be possible to get a double dimmer switch and therefore have seperate control over the 2 lights?

    Thanks in advance! :)

    You can only use a dimmer on one of those switches. The other will have to be the standard on/off 2-way.

    Ah, sorry, read it wrong. You only need to get one dimmer to control both lights together.

    You'd have to run new cable to have control over each light independently.
