Common Features of Dimmer Switch and Dimmer Plug

The Treatlife dimmer switch is usually preferable for whole-house light dimming. The dimmer plug, on the other hand, is highly beneficial for easily adding dimming to floor and table lamps.

Either Treatlife option is an excellent choice for upgrading to smart dimmable lights on a budget.
