Help with Choosing Dimmer Switches

19 years ago

I've been in the kitchen forum and is migrating to this forum because I'm having some lighting problems that I hope you can help with. Forgive my ignorance and any confusing information.

Today, I went to purchase dimmer switches today for several rooms in my apartment. The salesperson wanted to know what type of lights I had for each switches. He said I needed to know whether the fixtures were high or low voltage. I want to know, how can I determine which dimmer switch to get for the following:

1. 4 6" cans in ceiling of my kitchen

2. bathroom fixture in 5X7 room

3. switch corresponding to plugged in lamp

4. light in foyer

5. light in hallway.

I guess what I'm asking is, how do you determine the voltage, in order to buy the appropriate dimmer switch? I would appreciate any help or comments.
