Q & A
Q. When do I have to use a narrow pushbutton dimmer switch? A. You must use trimmed off push-button dimmers in situations where they are being installed next to another dimmer or ceiling fan control otherwise they won't fit. Standard dimming switches and fan controls are too wide to stack side by side. These devices have a large metal flange around the switch that helps dissipate heat. When you trim this off, this causes derating, meaning that the switch cannot handle as large a load as before. So with these 300 watt push dimmers, they are derated to 200 watts.
