I installed sixteen dimmer switches around the house, for various

When a dimmer switch is turned down so the light is not as bright,
does this save electricity or does the dimmer switch disperse the
voltage drop in heat?

Thanks for the info. Bob

Modern home dimmer switch do save energy. Of course they do consume
some heat and most lamps when dimmed are somewhat less efficient. So if you
had 10 lamps in the room you could dim them all 50% or turn half of them off
and save a little more energy.
