Step 1
Simply adding a dimmer switch to adjust light levels can transform the mood of any room. Begin by turning off the breaker in the main electrical panel that controls the existing switch. Disconnect the wires and remove the existing switch from the wall. Always install a dimmer switch that is rated for the total wattage draw of all the lights on the switch.
