I have a torchiere that's a couple of steps above the cheap throwaway ones, but not expensive enough to send in for repair. It has a dimmer switch, and the switch started acting flaky; I had to jiggle it to get the lamp to turn on. It got worse and worse, and finally stopped working altogether. Is there anything I can try to repair it myself?

Sure. You can just replace the switch with one just like it, and wire it exactly the same.

our fan and light in the bathroom use the same switch(both go on and off together). We would like to split the two so they work seperately.

control panel

on Mar 20, 2000

I am attempting to create a game show type panel for my church. The problem I am having is how do I deactivate contestant 'A' switch when contestant 'B' activates the buzzer first (or vise-versa)? I also need some sort of a reset plan to reactivate the buttons for the next question. Please, I need some suggestions.
