Overview

A dimmer switch is a wall control that adjusts light brightness instead of a simple on/off, letting you set the mood in any room. In a plan it marks where lighting is controlled, useful for documenting electrical layout.

Sizing & placement

It is a small 3-by-5-inch wall plate set just 1 inch off the wall, mounted at a standard 46-inch height so it falls naturally to hand height beside a doorway. Place it near room entries on the wall surface.
