2 dimmers 1 box

[Gossamer]

Hello all. I'm a computer guy, so forgive the silly questions I might have here. I've done wiring around the house for years, but I've just bought dimmers for a basement I'm finishing. These require a neutral, which isn't a problem. Is there anything special about wiring two dimmers in one box? Also, from this gang would I be able to provide power to another gang for some rope lighting I'm putting up (separate switch of course)?

Thank you all!

You need to use common sense about the size of the box and the heat produced by the dimmers. If two dimmers are crammed in close proximity into a small box then overheating can occur.
