Hi Folks
Can anyone recommend a brand that manufactures light switches, particularly dimmers, with large terminals? Not fussed if it's only white that's available.
Basically the gang who rewired my house (Feb 2014) did the lighting primarily in single core & CPC cabling with the permanent lives looped from switch to switch and the neutrals from rose to rose, I can't say I'm impressed with the method either from the POV of the householder or of someone who knows a bit about lighting circuits.
The switch I want to change for a dimmer has 3 permanent lives so must loop off to two other lights. This left me with the problem of how to terminate all 3 in a dimmer switch; the terminal in the switch I already had was too small for 3 cores and I did try terminating them in a block and running a flylead to the switch but was unable to fit it in behind the switch.
So is there a brand of dimmer that might accommodate 3 live cores?
Thanks!
