If you have lights controlled by a dimmer switch, can you replace the switch with an ordinary on/off light switch?

Thanks for the reply
Its a yes regardless of the type of light bulb and any equipment used in the circuit for the lights?

Yes again.
Unless your lighting circuit for that switch exceeds 10A which is the standard rocker switch manufacturers limit - although you can get 20A DP if you really want.
Problems occur when going the other way - since many dimmers place restrictions on the type of lamp you can use with them.
