dimmers
if you have LED bulbs, they must be "dimmable", (says so on the package, but not on the bulb.
Similarly, if you are using a LED bulb, that is dimmable, the dimmer switch must also be rated for LEDs.
I think the decora style switch is ergonomically superior and the small slide dimmer more practical than having to use an antique rotary dimmer.
Dimmers are great because they allow big light for task lighting or lower general illumination light. I just put in a few ceiling light fixtures with two 100 watt, dimmable bulbs. works great.
