When Light Switches Get Complicated: Dead-End 3-Way Dimmer Installation

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
Lights & receptacles are in, now for some control. Switches are pretty straightforward, but a dead-end 3-way dimmer is something we have not yet shown on the channel. Dimmers are some of the more sensitive electrical components around, so in this video we’ll cover some recommendations for installers and considerations for homeowners. Our next video will put the cherry on top of this kitchen project as we install the under-cabinet lighting!
