I am wanting to add dimmer switches to a couple of my 3-way lighting circuits.
Is it ever permissable to add 2 dimmer switches to the circuits? I bought a Levitron or Lutron, forget which one, at H.D. and it's literature states only one dimmer in the circuit.
I also ordered a set of "old style" 3-way pushbutton dimmers from an online retailer. Their tech dept didn't say I couldn't install 2 dimmers in that circuit, but that doesn't mean they know or don't know. Those switches came yesterday, but don't have much paperwork and nothing mentioning multiple dimmers in the circuit. I forget the manufacturer of those switches, but can look if it matters.
