Subject: Dimmer switches

Question
Hi --
We have a couple lights in our home that are each controlled by 3 different wall switches (hall light, foyer light).  What kind of dimmer switch do we need to buy?  We normally only have to buy the 2-way switches ... but can't seem to find a 3-way that looks normal and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.  
Thanks!

Answer
You hit the nail on the head. Three way dimmer are expensive. I'm sorry there is not much I can do about that.You might want to try smarthone.com. There you can find some cool solutions that will be in the same price range.
