Dimwit is dimmers, done differently.
The details should feel good.
We spend hours choosing the right light, the perfect fixture, the ideal bulb temperature. Carefully considering how it all will shape a space....And yet, the hardware we use to turn it on, something we touch more times a day than we can count, is almost always an afterthought. We intend to change this.
We set out to make electrical hardware built for North American homes — and ended up designing something genuinely new: a system that considers every step, from installation to how these small details look, feel, and live in a space.
A dimmer can now also be a complement, a statement, a wink, or a nod.
THE MAGWIT SYSTEM™
Our magnetic wall plate system, designed for a seamless, screwless finish and effortless swapping of plates and knobs.
Integrated magnets secure the wall plate to the dimmer
module, while removable risers accommodate both old-work and new-work junction boxes.
Made to last. Designed to change with you.
“While renovating a 120-year-old house, I wanted electrical hardware that could bridge old and new—something considered and unexpected, but not tied to a particular aesthetic. Something that could feel at home in the house I grew up in and the one we’re raising our kids in.”

Our debut collection takes its name from the art of rearrangement.
Interchangeable wall plates and sculptural knobs can be mixed and matched — an invitation to literally, play with the lights.
Six wall plate colors. Three knob shapes. Four knob colors. From quiet combinations to a little less expected, make them your own.
Hardware is meant to be touched.
