hi,
i replaced a one way switch with a two way dimmer. the one way switch had 3 lives going into the 'common' and 1 live going into '1-way'. it was hard to get the 3 common wires into the ~ socket in the dimmer because it is so small, but it works anyway.
the problem is the halogen spots don't seem as powerful before (with the dimmer turned up full). if its of any interest, the first 5 notches on the dimmer do nothing, the light remains in the off position. after that, there are 9 levels of intensity.
it hardly matters what notch the dimmer was on when i restored power does it?
i have 3 halogen spots, mains voltage, with 50w bulbs. the dimmer is a two way switch in a 1-way configuration.
thanks for any help
