I have two switches in my hallway, which control the lights in the hallway. When I turn a switch ON, it turns on both lights. I can turn OFF lights using either switch.
[Switch on/off] ---[Light 1]---[Light 2]---[Switch on/off]
The problem is at night, because the hallway light gets into the bedroom when I open the door and it disturbs my partners sleep. She is a light sleeper.
Is there a way to change one of the switches to a dimmer switch?
I did consider a low 25 watt bulb, which is fine for nighttime, but during day time, it does not provide enough light as the hallway has no windows.
Is there any solution? Is there a switch which behaves like a normal on-off switch, but can override it to be a dimmer, when needed?
