We had ours installed by an electrician. I would imagine just like any it would be connected to any other switch.

Ours was installed by an electrician as part of a new house but it is on a dimmer switch. Should not be any different than attaching it to regular switch.

There's no dimmer switch. Just an on and off switch. Unfortunately there's no way to din the light unless you add your own dimmer.

The lamp must have a cord that normally plugs into a 110 volt receptacle. You plug the Westek dimmer into a receptacle then plug the lamp cord into the dimmer's receptacle. Touch the round corded disc to turn on the lamp, touch again and the lamp will dim. Do not use flourescent or LED lamps. Bulb must be the old fashond incondescent type.

This one worked great for me, just follow the instruction on how to wire it up. Your present lamp may be wired a different way, I mean white orred or black wires may go different places, do as the instructions say and put the wires with the right ones and it will work perfect.

I would think an electrician could hard wire this fixture to a dimmer switch. I would like to point out, this is not a high quality piece.

Simply plug it in. This is the best fluorescent lamp fixture I have ever had in my work shop!

I'm not sure. It won't work the 3-way bulb like the lamp is designed, but it should still work as a dimmer with whatever bulb is in the lamp.

There is power connection at one end and connection to next unit at other end -- if you have other end. I hooked two together and put the third one on a separate dimmer switch. They are great.

Yes, you can use it on a lamp that has an on/off switch. The clean way to do it is to replace the existing switch. That way, you are replacing the on/off with an on/off/dimmed switch. You could also just add the switch to the cord, but then you will have to make sure that both switches are in the on position for it to turn on (this dimmer could be dimmed for it to work, but the other switch would have to be on).

Hi, this depends on what type of switch it is. I think this product is a 2 way switch. If it is, no it won't work. If you are installing this in a 3 way setup where there is another 3 way switch, then the dimmer has to be a 3 way dimmer switch. Another thing to keep in mind is that the light you want to dim has to be able to be dimmable. Example, if it is a flourescent light it must be a dimmable type. Usually incandescent or halogen bulbs are used where dimmers are used. Hope this helps

Nope. It will tie into your existing light wiring the same as your old lamp.

This item does not contain a dimmer. This would have to be done externally to the lamp assembly.

I removed the original switch from the lamp and replaced it with this one. The original lamp cord was wired to the new switch and connected the same way.

You will have to attach a cord with a plug on it to the wires on the back of the lamp assembly. Ideally, it should be wall mounted and wired to a circuit with a switch.

Induction is usually for motors like ceiling Fans I Would use a low voltage dimmer switch . Do You have 120v. lamps and the lv. trans on the same switch leg ?

I used a halogen bulb in the lamp that the dimmer is used on, and it works fine.

It's pretty straightforward. Of course you want to kill the circuit breaker before starting. The switch/dimmer comes with 4 wires attached: green = ground; black = common or power; and 2 red = load/3 way connecton. They are connected to the existing wiring with wire nuts. There is a wiring diagram included. Follow the lead of your existing 3 way. The main thing you have to do is identify the common connection; the other 2 are interchangeable. I usually wrap a piece of tape around the common wire so I won't lose track of it once it's separated from the switch. The existing wires may or may not have the same colors as the switch, but that's not important. Hope this helps. It's pretty straightforward.
