    Quick Question On Switch Selection

    Quick question here. If I am using simple on/off bulbs (non dimmable) can/should I still install the Caseta Wireless dimmers (already have a Caseta environment) or do/should I install the In Wall Switches instead ? Just thinking of future proofing that if I install the dimmers and just use the On/Off portion of the switch can then update to dimmable bulbs later as opposed to being stuck if I just do the in wall switch.

    Similarly, IF I do install the In Wall Dimmers, can I use a simple On/Off Pico Remotes to control them (albeit being limited to on/off control) ?

    Thanks all

    Install the switches. Do not attempt to dim a non-dimmable source. Very bad things can possibly happen- think fire in extreme cases. Not worth the $75 for a new dimmer when you do replace the bulb. Or replace the bulb to a dimmable source and then install a dimmer from day one.
