Dimmers and combination devices

14 years ago

I've been looking, thusfar without success, for dimmer switches where there are 2 (or even 3) in a single switch box. I have found regular on/off switches in 2x and 3x combinations, and fan/light controls, but none with multiple dimmers.

Does anyone know if these are even made? I don't need to put a lot of load on the dimmer, maybe 200 watts max.

Or is the mechanism just too big and/or too hot for such an arrangement?

Lutron Skylark SL2 is two 300 watt rated dimmers in a single 1 gang device. I've never seen a three in one.

Thanks! I didn't see that one in their catalog. They're pricey, but they will certainly help reduce the light switch clutter on the wall.

Lutron has them in Maestro style now with the same 300 watt per dimmer limit.
