Dimmer switches
Can you replace a dimmer switch with a standard on/off switch? We never use the dimmer and LED's that are dimmable cost more than non-dimmable bulbs. Thanks

The short answer is YES
the longer answer is finding a switch that fits. As someone said if they are using standard size switches like on the wall in your house.
Well any switch rated for 120 volts will handle 12 volts just fine.
(the reverse is not recommended or necessary true_)
Just make sure the switch can pass the current. and well. With LED's 10 amps is like 1,000 or more of incandescent light so you won't have a problem .
Switch ratings, both voltage and amps are "XX OR LESS".
But you can indeed use standard ON/OFF swirtches to replace the dimmers provided 1: They fit, or 2: you can make them fit.
(Enlarge hole and put in box. add face plate with new smaller hole)_
