Steven Hockstein Posted August 6, 2011 Report Posted August 6, 2011 So you can find the switch in the dark?
Robert Jones Posted August 6, 2011 Report Posted August 6, 2011 I don't think I have seen a dimmer switch like that. Does that say "HOT"?

Jim Katen Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 It's just an indicator light to tell you that the dimmer is on. When the dimmer handle is in place, the light creates a dim glow to alert you to the fact that the light is on -- even if it's dimmed way down to where you might not notice it. They used to be quite popular, but I haven't seen a new one in a long time.
