Back Box for two separate fronts?

    Hi. I'm looking for a back box that can hold both a dimmer switch & a single socket. It'd be going into a plasterboard wall & I'd prefer not to have two separate boxes if possible.

    There's a lighted mirror (Hollywood glamour style lights), but the 10 bulbs combined means it's like a floodlight. I'd like to be able to put a dimmer on this, in addition, I'd also like to be able to put a single socket for hairdryer etc right beside it.

    Is there something that'll hold both?

    That indeed is what I'm looking for, but looks like it's a surface mount. Do they come in flush mount ones do you know?

    They do. Your local electrical wholesalers should have them.
