Can I have a dimmer switch on a 3 way circuit?

Or you can use a master and remote system like this

Thanks for this. I'm glad u showed this particular switch, it's the type I was thinking of getting but not sure about the operation of it and if it's any good. The fact that you can't just switch on to full or off in in one hit - it sounds like you have to touch and hold to get desired brightness? Do you know much about them? Also, as the intensity works on a loop, if you want 100% on but don't realise you've reached it and it starts to dim again, you have to go all the way round again to try to stop it at 100% again, is that how they work??

I was actually going to get the RetroTouch switches - very expensive but nice looking, but it was a couple of people on this forum who said there's too much going on and didn't like the 'no neg connection'... any thoughts?... http://www.retrotouch.co.uk/rts2020.html[/QUOTE]

If you happen to reach 100% and it starts to dim down again...simply take your finger off the touch plate and touch again and it will cycle back to full brightness....by the way...the whole dimming cycle from 'bottom' to 'top' back to 'bottom' is only a matter of seconds..

I seem to remember there is a light system where the dimmer is built into the ceiling rose and you can have radio controlled remote's and switches to control it. Seem to remember sold by B&Q.

Can't find in B&Q but here is link to web site showing the idea.
Since it is the rose with dimming bit not switch you can have as many switches as you want all with full control.
