Why LED lights need the right dimmer

Older dimmers were designed for incandescent bulbs that drew far more power. Put an LED on one and you often get flicker, a faint buzz or lights that will not go fully off. Dimmers made for LED loads solve this, and most have an adjustment for the low end of the range. We test every dimmer we install in Bay City with the actual fixtures on the circuit.

Questions about switch installation in Bay City

Can any light be put on a dimmer?

Most can, provided the bulbs or fixtures are marked dimmable and the dimmer is rated for them.

Why is my light switch warm?

Dimmers run slightly warm by design. A standard switch that is hot, or any switch that smells or crackles, should be replaced right away.

Do smart switches need a neutral wire?

Many do. Older Bay City homes often lack one at the switch, and we can add it or use a model that does not need it.

Can you add a second switch for a stairway light?

Yes. That is three-way switching and we install it regularly.
