Small dimmer switches?

We have a large slide in our unit (couch and eating area) with two round ceiling lights (really ugly).
In spite of my wife telling me I can't leave anything alone, have chosen to put something in a little nicer. The fixtures that were there had 60 watt max each, and the new fixtures each have 3 40 watters.
I just doubled my lighting, but I'm really a dimmer kind of guy. More is better, but more control is more better...

Is there such a thing as a small dimmer that can fit inside, under the cover of the fixture, etc., or do I need to make another hole...I really dislike new holes...

I found some...

These look like handy little buggers...might get a couple extra for future lighting in the bedroom...

Remember the old 500 watt halogen floor lamps that were popular 10+ years ago. They were on a tall pole and reflected off the ceiling. Anyways mine had a dimmer that went out ... I got a replacement (it was small in dimensions) from Radio Shack a few years back ... maybe they still stock them???

Ozzie - Great find! Let me know if they also are on-off (or just dim). The specs don't seam to clarify, unless I'm missing something.

I couldn't tell either Brad...I'll find out when they come I guess.
This could be one of those niche items that work great for rv's.
I'm hoping anyways...gonna find a way to get it in that outlet box.
