A question recently came up on the “NEC & other Code issues” forum regarding the use (or not thereof) of dimmers on circuits serving sockets – I am assuming with the thought of powering lamps. I would have thought that in the UK where the old style 2A three-pin socket is used on these types of wall switch operated table/bedside lamp set ups that having a dimmer at the switch would not be unacceptable. Joe Public would be unlikely to plug their vacuum cleaner into one of these sockets.
Any thoughts from the UK practitioners.
