Changing a standard switch to a dimmer switch requires first checking that the light fitting is compatible. Standard LED bulbs are often not dimmable. Only LED bulbs specifically labelled as 'dimmable' work well with dimmers. Old halogen bulbs do dim without issue but are rarely used now due to their power consumption. To add a new socket where there was none before, there are two approaches. The first is chasing. This involves opening a channel in the wall from the nearest socket to the new point, running the cable inside, and then closing the channel with plaster. It's the cleanest visually but involves minor construction and repainting the wall. Timeframe: 4-6 hours plus wall repair.
