Robert Jones Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 This home had two dimmer switches that when pushed all the way into the up/on position turned off. They also turned off when all the way down as is the norm. Both lights lit and got brighter as normal. Any idea what may cause this? Are there dimmer switches that do this intentionally? Does this post make any sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I've never seen ones that acted like that. Was there a tactile detent at the top position where they turned off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
