Radiation such as X-rays, etc. Not really. What they do is create some noise in the SC line to which it's attached from the switching components inside which may cause some interference in radios and yes, even in TV's. However, designs have improved over the years and they seem to be getting quieter.

One of the things you'll notice though, especially if you're using an incandescent bulb, will be a humming noise coming from the bulb itself, as the filament may vibrate from the reduction of the a.c. cycle.

You shouldn't try to use it on inductive loads such as motors, electronic appliances, TV's and radios etc. as this can cause damage to them.

What causes the dashboard lights and radio light to turn off when the headlights are on in 2004 Sienna?

Probably because the dimmer switch is turned off. Turn the dimmer switch up and see if the dashlights and radio illumination lamps come on.

Radium emits alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation is fully ionized helium nuclei. Beta radiation is high energy electrons. Gamma radiation is very high energy electromagnetic radiation. All of these can do significant damage to living things.


On your 1989 Chevy Cavalier Z24 converable when you turn the head lights on the dash oard lights to not engauge and the light on the radio turns off How can you fix this problem myself if i even can?

Sounds like your dimmer switch isn't working or it is turned all the way down for night driving.. It has a setting that allows you to turn off the lights on your dash and radio for driving at night. Locate your dimmer switch and see if it is turned down all the way. If not it may have gone bad and needs to be replaced.


Why would the interior lights stay on constantly instead of the usual 30 seconds and therefore draining battery?

start off by checking all door switches. Then check the interior switch on the dashboard. I mean by checking as in bypassing switch or disconntection of the switch. If you have the theater dimmer or the delay dimmers you would check that also.. Thanx Dom


What causes uv rays?

Ultra-violet radiation from the sun is caused by the high temperature of the sun, which in turn is the result of nuclear fusion. High temperatures cause sub-atomic particles to vibrate rapidly, and vibrating electrons give off electromagnetic radiation. The faster the electrons vibrate, the higher the frequency, and the higher the energy content of the radiation that they radiate.

If a dimmer switch will not turn off completely and one dims the lights off with the dimmer switch is there a chance of causing an electrical fire at the switch?

Your question is a bit unclear and vague, but if you have a dimmer switch and you turn it all the way to its lowest setting then the switch should not fail because of that. If there is nothing wrong with your electrical system then using a device exactly how it was designed to be used then there is no reason why it would catch on fire.

Is it possible to wire a dimmer switch off another dimmer switch for a completeley different light?

No, the dimmer switch needs its own individual circuit power supply to feed the fixtures connected to it. The black of the second dimmer switch can not be connected to the red wire of the first dimmer switch. Now if you are talking about using a common "hot" to feed two dimmer switches then this can be done. The neutrals will be common also. So what you should have is two black wires connected together with the incoming "hot". Two neutrals connected together with the incoming white. The red from each dimmer is then connected to its own individual fixture load.
