What does DIMMER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A control that lets you lower or raise the brightness of an electric light.
A dimmer is usually a knob or a slider on the wall that replaces an ordinary on-off switch. Turning it cuts the current that reaches the bulb, so a room can glow softly for dinner and be bright again for reading. Stage theatres use much larger dimmers to fade whole banks of lamps. The word is also the comparative of dim, but this entry is about the device.
