I actually stole the idea from David (RTI Installer)...
He showed me on one of his jobs. Glue an emitter to the
back of the dimmer, spray it black (if controlling several
in the same box) and splice to the CAT5 outside of the
box (draped over the front lip through the gap in the
rock). separate emitters and painting the backs allows
you to increase the scene potential from 4 to 4x the number
of switches. I did one with two 2 gang boxes controlling
lights in several rooms open to the family media room
including the kitchen. This allowed them to control them
individually and to create many more scenes beyond the
media functions. One fun thing I did for an older couple
is that when they shut it down at night, the lights will
dim in a slow sequence following them out of the room
but still giving them time to gather their things. That
said... I did a couple of times just to do it and now
it is off my radar.

Does paint type matter? How warm do the dimmers get? Would automotive paint be recommended or just regular spray paint work?

No Comment!

Thats what I thought.

Thanks
