Robert Jones 1 Report post Posted August 6, 2011 I don't think I have seen a dimmer switch like that. Does that say "HOT"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Katen 109 Report post Posted August 7, 2011 It's just an indicator light to tell you that the dimmer is on. When the dimmer handle is in place, the light creates a dim glow to alert you to the fact that the light is on -- even if it's dimmed way down to where you might not notice it. They used to be quite popular, but I haven't seen a new one in a long time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
