i've tried covering it over too to black it out to see if that made it turn off, and thus suggesting the LI and LO were the wrong way round, but made no difference. Does it need a neutral? Initially i treated it like a normal switch, i.e. just had live and switched live to photocell and it...

its one of these http://www.screwfix.com/prods/11330/Lighting-Lamps/Floodlights/PIRs-Photocells/Photo-Cell-5A-Load I want the lights off in the day, on at night,

Hello again I connected up photocell today as shown in the diagram below. Its only controlling 1 light. When I switch the live in on the lights comes on and stays on - i.e. the photcell doesn't switch the light off. Am i missing something? I have tesed the line in and line out wires...

Thanks for that - Still not sure what else needs bonding. As a side note, the boiler manual states "This boiler must be earthed using an appropriate bonding clamp" I thought the boiler was earthed via its supply via the CPC running through the house. Do I need an additional earth...

I've done some testing and found out what all the wires do. I have linked to a pic here of how i plan to re-wire the dimmer. Can anyone see if i've got anything wrong? Also, not sure which terminal red and black of dining room light go into, L1 for black or Red, L2 for black or Red...

thanks breezer - much appreciated

anyone got any ideas?
