Can I replace a normal (on/off) light switch with a dimmer switch? Will my
lights work with a dimmer regardless of the type of light they are, or do
only certain types of lights work with dimmers?

Thanks.


Any incandescent light will work. You can't use them on flourescent
lights, including the energy saving compact ones that are designed to
replace existing regular light bulbs.



Well.... you CAN, you just SHOULDN'T.
