Certainly used to be standoffs, I fitted one to the front room for a deeper
dimmer when the old one kept blowing up its triacs due to insufficient
cooling. I took it out some 10 years back when I refitted a normal switch
since dimming a light is a bit pointless when you cannot see if its even on
or off!
It was a square of hard plastic and two extra long metric screws that were
put back in to reach the lugs in the all box.

I'm trying to replace the 5 incandescent candle bulbs in a chandelier with
LEDs. The only problem seems to be the dimmer switch. A switch suitable
for LEDs is deeper than the current dimmer and I don't want to start
chiseling the wall for a new back box. Does anyone know of a switch
shallower than this one?

or, alternatively, is there such a thing as a standoff?
