I laughed my ass of when I saw the pic of the electrical tape bandaid. Do you guys get eh Red Green show in the states? Total scene from it! Basicly, red uses duct tape to fix everything and it was almost exactly what happens in like every episode! Anyway no doubt aboot it eh and all that Jazz up in The great white north!
If you are ever bored look up the Red Green Show and download an episode or too! Freaking funny!
You can certainly separate the two outlets on the receptacle, but you're going to be hard pressed to find room in the 2-gang box for another dimmer
Make sure that if you are separating them that you remove the jumper that connects the 2 hot screws together. Usually you can just use your pliers and work it off.
So you are saying run another hot to lower half of outlet. (two hot) Upper and lower after you remove the jumper. Right!
In my case, I have 2 rheostats connected to the same receptical. the hot wire going through one rheostat connected to the hot side on the top, and the other rheostat is connected to the hot side on the bottom.
So it separates the two, one rheostat controls the botttom and one controls the top.
If you left the jumper in there, both rheostats would control both outlets.
So you are saying run another hot to lower half of outlet. (two hot) Upper and lower after you remove the jumper. Right!
Depending on what you wanna do, yes. I have my Rheostat hooked up to the top outlet and the other half is a regular constant hot outlet. You CAN hook up another Rheostat to the other outlet like Energi2er did, but you will need a bigger box. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Sorry it took me so long to reply. I've been in the process of switching all my junk to a new computer.
