I have just built an extension, I have added 4 sockets to it which I have connected to the ring main. An electrician told me I could connect the new lights to the ring main too by running a 2.5 amp cable from the last socket to the light switch, then run a 1.5 amp cable from the light fitting to the light switch. How do I actually then connect the 2 lots of cables to the switch - which wires go where?! We have a single dimmer switch with L1, L2 and C markings. I can get the lights to actually work but cannot switch them off with the light switch! Any help & advice would be greatly appreciated - the said electrician who was supposed to be doing it has let me down too many times - the missus is on at me to get it done!!!!
