Hi there,
I am diy'ing in a bedroom and wanted to see if I can figure out how to attach a lot of wires from wallamps & other dimmers etc..Currently the wall lights do not work. I guess I may have to call an electrician for this, but any help is greatly appreciated before i do!
To explain:
- My dimmer switch is standard with 3 ports: C, L1 and L2
- There was one roof lamp in the room from before (I have removed this with wires isolated in box already). I did not remove wiring in switch back-box since I did not know which one to remove...my bad I know!
The cables in back box are:
- 3 cables with 6 wires come from 2 wall lights: blue, brown and earth.
- 1 cable with 3 wires come from ??: This one is old and has White!, Blue and Red wires. Could this be to roof lamp or Electrity incomming?
- 1 cable with 2 wires come from ??: This one is old and has Black and Red wires. Or this may be to roof lamp or Electricity incomming?
From before all of the blue wires (and one black) were somehow bundled together behind the switch. There were a few red/brown / one white inside the dimmer switch, but then again this did not work..so perhaps pointless information..
Thanks a lot for help, and excuse my ignorance!
