Will dimming work in a two bulb system? A light in each of two right angle halls with one dimmer and two switches

I would assume so. Though I don't have that exact setup I do have a multi-pole setup with one dimmer and 3 other on\off switches for a multi bulb chandelier, and they work fine in that setup. I do also have some circuits with multiple fixtures outdoors (they work fine if shielded from the elements) but those only have single pole on\off switches with no dimmer. But I do have some other mini can 2 pin Philips dimmable LED bulbs on a 3 way circuit with one dimmer and one on\off. Hope that's not too confusing. Bottom line is that I would see no reason why these wouldn't work in a setup like you're describing. Hope that helps.

Two things about dimming. My dimmer was not compatible. Check the Philips list of ones that work perfectly. In spite of not being compatible they would dim way down. I dimmed the hall lights so our Video room would not have a glare from them. My guess would be over 80 dim. Not as good as old fashioned dimmers on a dinning room chandelier with incandescent lights but fairly close. Also be sure you have enough lights to meet the lowest wattage needed for the dimmer. Sounds complex but it isn't really. If you would like the PDF file with all the dimmers that work email me. I lost the site but have the list jhsnowden@ev1.net

I have one power source and split my lights after my dimmer in my kitchen. If the two strips are not too long it should be no problem. Before you mount the strips try it and see if the dimmer stays cool. The power source also has to be sized correctly.

You can use it for two different ones but I recommend to get the regular one without the dimming feature and get an outlet timer. The auto dim is slightly off with its timer. It keeps turning on earlier each day.

The master & slave dimmer will only control one series of lights. If the two light sets were wired together and one light switch controlled both at the same time, then the dimmers & remote you bought will control them all at once. However, the two light sets won't be controlled separately with the remote you got. Either all at once, or you'll need seperate dimmers with remote for your second set of lights. I hope that helps you. Good luck!

I really can't tell you. I use 2- 150 watt Incandescent bulbs. It does have a two step switch that might pose a problem. Also the two step switch works some of the time. The 1st step ( the dimmer of the two ) sometimes does not work and only the bright step works. You might try the manufacturers web site or 800 number, if it can be found.

Probably a good choice for this application. One of the two dimmer settings would probably work well.

Yes. That is exactly how I installed it in my kitchen. Basically just replaced one 3 way with this dimmer and left the other 3 way in place.

Yes, you can use a dimmer with this (I do), provided you have the right light bulbs. This sconce holds two bulbs that go into a traditional screw-in socket.

I did not change my dimmer and they dim reasonably well. Unlike incandescent lights they do not get warmer as they dim so the dimmed state is not the most attractive. Often the problem is that the current draw is too low for the dimmer to work; I have two of these lights on one circuit and have no problem. I did not try with just one.

Yes, it should work, if your system is 12 or 24 VDC (some are rated for both 12 and 24, some are rated for 12 volts only) and you are below the rated amperage of the dimmer . This is a PWM (pulse width modulation) type dimmer - turns on and off X times per second. They are usually 5 amps maximum. Heat is a function of load - as it dims, the load drops, hence, the heat will drop as you dim it. Also extends the life of the lamps.

I do...actually I have 3. They all dim as one; individual control would require additional dimmers. It would be important that you don't have a load that is larger than the rating of the dimmer.

I see on mine that there is a 3 way switch. I have a regular bulb in mine but if i put a 3 way bulb in i could have 3 different setting. So if you want a dimmer light put a 3 way bulb in it.

Yes it has a dimmer and yes u can operate with two bulbs even one if u like

No - You should not use this to control two lights. Using a Fan Control to dim lights will quickly "burn" up the controls inside the device and it won't dim correctly anymore.

No. The dimmer switch would need to be on a seperate circuit with the lights, different than the fan motor.

Not sure. I'm sure that depends upon the bulb you use. A dimmed switch should be able to dim most any fixture...
