    Which 3-Way Switch to Replace with Dimmer

    I have a Diva DVCL-153PR dimmer and intend to use to control a light that now has two a 3-way switches. The 120v power feed is at one 3-way switch, the load (light) is connected to the 2nd 3-way switch with a 3-wire cable running between the switches. Can I use the dimmer at either switch location?

    Either location works fine for the Diva CL line.

    You will need a three-way dimmer and a three-way switch. This lets you dim from one location and turn the lights on and off from another. If only one switch controls the light, purchase a single-pole dimmer. If two switches control a single light or a group of lights, you will need a three-way dimmer. https://mymilestonecard.me/
