Hi,
trying to find a 4 way led dimmer switch but no luck so far.
Should look something like this.

I'm not too sure on if there such a thing. I currently have 4 different switches to control the LED lights in my kitchen. You have two three switches and two four way switches hooked together so you can turn on / off in any of the four places you enter my kitchen. One of the three way switches has the Dimmer so even though you can turn on / off at four places, only one place you can adjust the dimmer.

You will need on of the electronic dimmers -- they allow adjustments for each switch. look at Lutron.

Look at this part number. DVWCL-153PH-WH. It says that it will work for three way switches. Put a dimmer at one end of the circuit, a regular 3 way switch (maybe with dimmer) at the other end, and a four way switch in the middle. You don't need all four way switches to make this work, the ones at the end can be 3 way. With four way switches, you could theoretically control it from any number of locations, it is not limited to three locations.

TM874WCC6 - four way switch.

I am not sure about a dimmer at each end of the circuit, sounds like something that you would have to try and see if it works. Put a couple of dimmers on the bench, and wire them up to a light, you will find out quickly enough if you can have two dimmers on one circuit, and if so, how they will work.

There are other ways to do this, with low voltage or wireless signaling, and that might work better for you. I am describing the traditional system, low tech.

This part number is for wireless technology. P-PKG1W-WH

I have a similar setup where I grouped all the dimmers in one box but I did not think I needed a dimmer for the hallway which is the 4way.

Too complicated. Just use a Maestro wireless switch and 3 wireless Pico switches.
