The difference between a single pole and a three-way dimmer switch isn't immediately obvious, but it's an important distinction that will determine which product is best for your home.</p>
<p>
Single pole switches control a light or group of lights from one location — such as the entrance to a room. Three-way dimmer switches, on the other hand, allow you to control the same light from multiple locations. Three-way dimmers are most commonly installed in rooms with more than one entrance, at the top and bottom of a flight of stairs, or in other spots where it is convenient to have multiple options for controlling a light.
Dimmer Options
Choosing a dimmer switch involves more than deciding whether you need a three-way or single pole unit. At Top Greener, we recognize that all homes are different, and we take care to stock a wide selection of options to meet every need. Wall dimmer switches include:
• Slide models: Slide dimmers have a single lever for adjusting the amount of light in a room.
• Rotary models: Rotary dimmers use a knob instead of a slide for control.
• Low-voltage dimmer switches: Choose a low-voltage switch for additional energy savings.
• Tabletop dimmer switches: Tabletop units have the advantage of plug-and-play functionality with no wiring needed.

Applications And Advantages
Enerlites dimmer switches, depending on the model, work with a range of different bulb types, including CFL, LED, Incandescent, Fluorescent, & Halogen. Three-way and single pole dimmer switches let you control the amount of electricity flowing to a light fixture. Less light means less power — as a result, by installing a dimmer switch, you can potentially save money and reduce your environmental impact.
However, the benefits of adding a dimmer switch are more than just economic or environmental. Many people prefer more low-level ambient lighting, particularly at night. Whether you’re winding down at the end of the day or enjoying a romantic meal with a loved one, a dimmer switch can help you set the mood. Dimmer switches are also great for showcasing art and design — whether it’s a unique painting or a carefully considered room layout.
