dimmer switches
Light intensity adjusters
Dimmer switches are electrical controls that adjust the brightness of lights rather than simply turning them on or off.
They work by regulating the voltage or current flowing to the fixture: Install a dimmer switch in the dining room for mood lighting.
The singular dimmer switch is more common, but the plural often appears when discussing home electrical systems generally.
