Make the Switch to Better Lighting

By Pioneer Window Fashions on September 13, 2021

Add versatility to any room in your home with this easy upgrade.

One simple way to give a room more flexibility, without a lot of investment? Replace a standard light switch with a dimmer. After all, lighting changes the look and feel of everything in a room. So why settle for “on” and “off” when you can create just the right light somewhere in between?

Here are a few examples of how to put a dimmer to work for you.

  • In the kitchen: brighten lights while prepping your signature dish, then lower them to create ambiance for a quiet dinner for two.
  • In the living room: dim lights for binging your favorite series or hanging out with friends; brighten them for game night.
  • In the nursery or kid’s room: no need to turn lights full-on for those middle-of-the-night diaper changes or monster-chasing; dim lights are soothing for your little one as well as you.
  • In the bathroom: ease into your morning routine with dim light, then brighten the lights as needed for shaving or applying makeup; conversely, end your day with soft light and a soothing soak in the tub.
  • In the bedroom: lower lights at night to help you wind down before you go to sleep.
GETTING STARTED

Replacing a standard light switch with a dimmer is an easy DIY project that you can do in about 30 minutes or less (always make sure you turn the power off at the circuit, first!); a licensed electrician can also make the switch for you.

One important note: If you have LEDs as opposed to incandescent or halogen bulbs in your light fixtures, make sure you purchase a dimmer that’s compatible with the types of LEDs you have (check the dimmer packaging or the manufacturer website for bulb/dimmer compatibility).

And when it comes to aesthetics, your options aren’t limited to a white rotary knob. Today’s dimmers are available in a variety of styles and colors, giving you lots of choices to complement your décor.
