Dimmable floor lights


Question

Posted

I have installed 13 Fibaro dimmers in most of my rooms in my house and I am quite pleased with all the functionality Fibaro has given me. Now I'd like to do the same with my floor lights.

These things illuminate my living room and come with their own dimmers. I currently have them connected using a Fibaro wall plug but that only allows me to turn the light on and off. More over, the dimmer switch and the wall plug are independent switches which means that if any of the two switches is off, the light will not work. This confuses the heck out of my wife.

So far, I have come up with several solutions:

Z-wave dimmable wall plug. I believe Everspring has a wall plug like device that is also dimmable. However, I am not sure if this device has an actual dimmable switch. I would like to be able to dim the device both physically AND digitally.

Replace existing dimmer with Fibaro dimmer. This involves removing the existing dimmer from the floor light and replacing it with a Fibaro dimmer. A bit of a hacky solution as I will have to tinker with all my floor lights.

Z-wave floor dimmer. I just found this thing on the internet:

Apparently it is a z-wave version of your typical floor dimmer. It also has a load-sensing feature, which means you can use it in combination with the light's own switch. Anyone has any experience with this device?

Am I missing anything? Any input is much appreciated!
