Single dimmer switch on 3 switch traveler light circuit

[Silverado_Express]

Not sure what the correct terminology is but I have ceiling lights in the living room that can be turned on or off from the 3 different entry points into the room. We recently just remodeled and upgraded to some nice flush mount LED lights that have adjustable color and brightness in the light driver themselves and we have them set on the brightest setting for when we need them but when it's evening time and we are trying to settle down, it's just too much. They are dimmable, I have the same ones in our bathroom I put on a dimmer but it is only one switch. Question is, with a 3 way or traveler switch (whatever they are called) could I just put one dimmer switch in the circuit and it control the brightness no matter which entryway switch is flipped on? Would it need 3 dimmers? Could I just do one dimmer by the couch and be able to dim them by that switch and any other switch just be full on when switched? I'm no electrician, that's why I'm relying on you smart people.

I did and it worked. Lights are whatever brightness the dimmer is set to regardless of which switch is used. Ymmv

I’ve never tried it, but theoretically it should work. I would put the dimmer wherever the first switch in the circuit is. This is basically what your wiring will look like. Just find the switch that is hot on one side with the light off and put the dimmer there. Your switches are just switching between different paths to feed the light. The dimmer is adjusting the voltage so it would work in any location, but I’d put first in line if it was me.
