    3-way switches: toggle vs. dimmer
    I have a set of lights controlled by two (3-way) toggle switches. I want to be able to dim these lights. Can I just buy two 3-way dimmers? Will they be able to be dimmed from either switch?

    Most 3 way dimmers can only have a dimmer at one location. X10 could allow dimming from both.
