I'm thinking about installing a dimmer switch in my bathroom, but I'm a bit apprehensive about working with electrical stuff. I recently watched a video that made it seem pretty simple. Since I only have one light switch for two bulbs above the mirror, is the installation really that straightforward?

You definitely got this! Just remember to turn off the power at the breaker before you start. A single switch setup like yours is the easiest kind. Take some pictures during the process to help you remember how to put everything back if needed. Also, if you're using LED bulbs, make sure they’re dimmable—some aren’t compatible.
Installing a dimmer is super easy; I did it last weekend with just a screwdriver! I personally prefer WAGO connectors instead of wire nuts—they're much more beginner-friendly. You'll get the hang of it fast!
It's really dead simple! Just make sure you turn off the breaker for the room before you start, especially if you're nervous about shocks. Look for a dimmer with an adjuster if you plan to use LED bulbs—otherwise, they can flicker.
