Installing a Dimmer switch at home

[JBop]

Hi all,

Thought i'd take a stab in the dark and ask if anyone has ever DIY'd a dimmer switch in a home?

Is it as easy as this tutorial (warning, the site talks):

I unscrewed my current single switch surrounding and ive got one white wire and one red wire. (I've seen this movie before...)

Does anyone know if i can simply walk into bunnings, buy a universal dimmer switch and just reconnect it to the old wires?

Do i have to worry about wattages or voltages?

The dimmer i want looks just like the one on the site at Step 8, except im keen for a dimmer plus a switch, if that makes sense...
