dimmer and toggle switches..

[peterm15]

well ive looked through a bunch of posts on dimmer wiring but i still have a coupple questions..

first off.. do you have to use the plugs as well or can you just splice the dimmer into the cord, i plan on useing 2 seperate dimmers for 2 seperate lights..

and can this also be done with a toggle switch.. i would like to hook one up to my floresent fixture. and if so is it pretty much the same thing..

i would really perfer if i didnt have to use the recpitaclas to.. it would make it look less clean.. i would have to use 3 of them plus my 2 dimmers and my switch...

and actually one more question..

is there any way to only have one plug going to the wall with the 2 dimmers and 1 switch.. like the cord comming from the wall.. spliting up then going to the 2 dimmers which lead to the ceremic fixturtes and to the switch which leads to the floresent fixture...


thanks in advance for any help...
