Start with the basic electrical dimmer switches

Dimmer switches can be wired to a multitude of lights or just a single overhead chandelier. Your customers are likely to demand that you fulfill their every need: be prepared.

I recommend: Order all your basics from LAMPS PLUS, which has every kind of dimmer you can imagine, including newer energy-efficient switches. Also check out the selection of Lutron and Leviton dimmers at YLighting.

Add convenience to your customers' lives by installing remote dimmer switches

It's great to be able to stay seated on the couch and turn down your overhead lights. When you're falling asleep reading a book in bed, you don't want to have to get up to turn the lights off. Remind your customers of these facts to entice them to use the remote dimmer switch instead of the standard one. They cost a little bit more but require the same amount of labor, so you make a profit while they get convenience.

I recommend: Offer top-of-the-line remote dimmer switches from Lighting Unlimited. Install a whole-house system of state of the art remote equipment from SMARTHOME.

Increase your profits by using discount dimmer switches

Cheaper doesn't have to mean that you sacrifice quality. Buying in bulk or from wholesalers is a great way to lower your materials costs and increase your bottom line.

I recommend: Let your customers select from a wide variety of styles and colors of dimmer switches from Westside Wholesale. Hardware and Tools Corp. offers bulk discounts on their switches.
