Instructional video on how to install a 3-way Dimmer Light Switch

By Mark J. Donovan




In this video, Mark Donovan of HomeAdditionPlus.com, shows how to install a 3-way dimmer switch.

A dimmer switch is a great lighting accessory to a dining room, living room or home theater. It can really make a room feel warm and cozy on a cold winter evening.

Fortunately dimmer switches are easy to install and require just a few basic tools.

In this video Mark steps through the process of installing a dimmer switch in a lighting configuration where two switches control the light, also known as a 3-way circuit.

Warning: When working with electricity use extreme caution to avoid the risk of electrical shock. 

Make sure to first shut off power at the main circuit panel and then confirm all power to the electrical fixtures and boxes are off prior to beginning any work on them.
