Wall Switch Types

Updated on August 29, 2024

Your wall switch type will determine the type of driver you need and will require a certified electrician.

OPTION 1: WALL DIMMER SWITCH

If you need to use a dimmable wall switch, then you must make sure you are using a compatible dimmer wall switch.

A dimmable wall switch will require you to use the dimmable driver. An electrician will need to run 110v wires from the dimmer switch to the accessible dimmable driver. If the driver is not located close to the bare 6-way distributor, then the electrician will need to run low voltage wires from the driver to the location of the bare 6-way distributor.

OPTION 2: TOGGLE OR ROCKER SWITCH

If you are using a toggle or rocker switch, then an electrician will need to make sure the switch is wired to a 110 plug for the constant driver to plug into. Keep in mind that a 6-way distributor with a switch and light extension lead will need to plug into the constant driver. You will want this plug to be hidden, but also have it accessible.
