1 GANG 2 WAY

[Kookopelli]

I'm thinking of buying a touch 1 gang 2 way dimmer switch with a normal rocker 2 way switch at the other end. I've asked the seller if it would work
but they said they're not electricians and don't know. Could anyone here tell me if this would work. Any info would be greatly appreciated because I really like these switches.

Have you purchased this yet, if so what do the manufacturers instruction say about 2 way switching.

 

[Kookopelli]

I've not purchased it yet, it's an Ebay sale, I would of thought a 2 way switch would work, no ??

 

[PrenticeBoyofDerry]

Do you have make/model details?

 

[Kookopelli]

I've just ask the seller for some details ...

 

[PrenticeBoyofDerry]

Ask him to email you manufacturers instruction.
Not all dimmers are the same and some of the touch screen ones require neutrals connected at the switch.

Ahh, ok, just have to sit and wait now

That Lumos switch looks very similar to the UK supplied RetroTouch range of switches which have been cloned

If it is LUMOS, then the website says:

Ahh ok, not to buy it then unless I have 2

Not if you want 2-way switching
