Please can somebody help me!!!
I have two lights in the kitchen and there are two switches to control them. One plate has one switch the other, on the opposite side of the room has two. I have replaced the one switch on one side of the room with the dimmer and it works....no problem....However, on the other side where I have the two switch plate the wiring is complicated and I am begining to wish that I had never started on this job. I will try to describe in simplest way I can.
There are four wires entering the box from the top.
All four Earths are connected to the box at the back.
There are three black wires joined together in a plastic clip together.
The switch has at the top
Common 1
Red Wire
2
3
Red Wire
And at the bottom of the switch
3
Red Wire
Yellow Wire
2
Red Wire
Blue wire
Common 1
Red Wire
There is also a red wire loop connecting 2 to common 1.
Both lights at either side of the room work.
I have tried to attach the two switch dimmer but it does no work.
The switches I have are Get 2 gang 2 way 250W dimmer and a 1 gang 2 way 400W dimmer.
Please can someone help me. I to learn how to do this myself.
Thanks for your help.
