Duplex toggle dimmer, any such thing?

[mlock]

I installed a TAL06P2 toggle dimmer switch in my LR, I like it. I now want one in my kitchen, but it has a horizontal duplex, and one vertical single. All are 3 way, do they make such a thing?

If there are just two switches, you could replace the Single “Vertical” switch with a dimmer. There aren’t any Duplex Dimmers. Also, if the Single Switch is in a awkward location, there are remote control dimmers that will fit in standard light fixture boxes. They will not fit in shallow boxes or ones that are crowded with a lot wires!

I’m trying to picture this in my head and can’t. Have a pic?

Do you mean the whole box is rotated 90*? Or where an outlet once was is now a switch/outlet combo, plus a standard switch?

Just do a Internet Search, enter “Duplex Switch.” They come in SPST and SPDT (Three-way) configurations. There are no Dimmers in this configuration, there’s not enough area in the switch to dissipate the heat.

. That’s what I figured it was but just wanted to confirm we were all using the same terms!

Could always take the box out and put a cut in 3 gang box then you would have space for dimmers.

Thank you, very interesting functional solution!
