The satin brass finish adds warmth and luxury, complementing everything from industrial lofts to country cottages. The touch on\/off feature is satisfyingly responsive, and the smooth dimming action works without the flickering or buzzing often associated with older dimmers. Because it's a 2-way dimmer, you can install it at one end of a hallway or large room and a standard 2-way switch (or second dimmer) at the other – giving you dimming control from both entries. For homeowners who want modern convenience without sacrificing classic elegance, this dimmer is the perfect marriage of form and function.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSatin brass finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – warm, elegant, and smudge-resistant\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTouch on\/off \u0026amp;
