Can I use a dimmer for my bathroom vanity lighting fixture?


by DoItYourself Staff

Using dimmers with bathroom lighting gives you complete control over the lighting of the room, depending on the need at the time. You can dim the lighting when soaking in the tub, or turn it all the way up when applying makeup or shaving. This can also save a lot of energy. When using the lighting on the lower settings, you can save up to 10 percent of the energy, which can save on the electric bill, but also give your bulbs longer life. You will only need to be sure that you are using the correct dimmer for the type of lighting you have.
