Looking for a bit of assistance...
fitting 2 pendants in my lounge, attached to a double dimmer.
I have 4 sets of cables
1) second pendant
2) Mains
3) another set of cables that, if disconnected, disconnects all other lights in the house
4) Switch cable
the issue is that the switch cable has the following wires:
earth, live, grey wire with brown tape, black wire with brown tape
yes, thats 2 switch wires?!
Currently, I've wired it up so all live wires are in the loop terminal, all neutral wires in the neutral terminals, earths connected but I'm at a loss as to which of the switch cables is the correct one and where the straggler will be connected.
At the moment, the other pendant is permanently on even if both dimmers are in the off position.
HELP!!!! This is driving me bonkers!
