Decora dimmer?

Sep 05, 2009 1 Replies

Does anyone make a good Decora-style dimmer that doesn't require it's own trim plate? e.g. I was looking at the display at the Home Despot and I think it was Lutron dimmers that they carried, I have one in my kitchen, it works fine but the trim plate came with it, and snaps on rather than screws on. IIRC you could not use a regular screw on trim plate with it.



The reason that I ask is that I would like to put a dimmer in my living room, but if I did so, it would be one switch in a double gang box (the other switch controls the porch light.) Personally left to my own devices I would use a toggle and conventional dimmer with an old school cast brass cover plate, but the design department has other ideas.

You must have been looking at a designer Lutron, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't fit in a standard decora plate. Lutron Skylark, Diva, or maestro will all fit in a standard decora plate, or a two piece screwless plate, if you prefer
