Honest scope diagram
Miami LED dimmer & condo notes
- LED flicker — old dimmers often buzz or flicker with LED fixtures; we recommend LED-rated dimmers matched to your bulb/fixture load.
- Condo concrete — device swaps are usually fine; cutting new chases in concrete towers is electrician / contractor territory.
- Kitchen & bath GFCI — Miami wet locations are the classic $129 GFCI upgrade when the receptacle is already there.

Can a handyman install a dimmer on a ceiling light?
Yes when there is an existing switch box and compatible load (many LED fixtures need LED-rated dimmers). We swap the device on the existing circuit. New circuits, panel work, or three-way complexity that needs redesign belong to a licensed electrician — we refer.
When do you refer a licensed electrician?
Panel / service upgrades, new circuits, aluminum rework, permitted remodel wiring, burning smells, melted devices, or any job a building requires under electrical permit. We would rather lose the job than open a panel we should not.
