Q & A
Q. Why would I need use a narrow push-button dimming switch? < /br>< /br> A. Use a trimmed off push button dimmer when installing next to another dimmer or fan control switch (or a GFCI outlet) otherwise they won't fit. In particular, regular dimming switches and ceiling fan controls have a large metal flange around them so are too wide to stack side by side. These flanges help dissipate the heat created when the device is in use, so when you trim the dimmer it must be derated because it can no longer handle as large a load. So these 600 watt narrow push dimmer switches, for example, are derated to 400 watts.
