I know you can get touch sensitive dimmers and remote control dimmers, but I would really like one with a slider. Does anyone know where to find one please?

Thanks

Thanks. It didn't occur to me that these were called "foot dimmers" - the one I have I operate by hand!

The TLC one is not a slider.

Bit big and clunky for a hand-operated one?

The reason they are made like that is to be foot operated for a floor-standing light. If you want to use yours by hand then what's wrong with the TLC one? It'd be a lot smaller and more elegant....

Daughter had one go on a standard lamp. Was cheaper to replace the complete lamp

ISTR that B&Q do them.

OR they did, I got several a while back on sale at £1 each.
