Hi Guys
Really learning a lot by reading through this site - well done everyone.
However, I just want to be certain I'm correctly connecting some switches I bought today.
They are some touch and remote controlled dimmer switches. They are to replace two switches (2 way) in my lounge.
I've unscrewed one of the existing switches from the wall, and it's got one cable going into COM, and 2 cables going into L1 and two cables going into L2.
The new Varilight switches don't have the same markings on them. They have Live, S (slave) and "squiggle arrow (Load)".
Am I correct in assuming the existing COM cable goes into the new switches "Live", and the other 2 x 2 cables go - 2 into the "S (slave)" and 2 into the "squiggle arrow (Load)"? Also, why don't the new switches have the same markings as the old ones? It would make life a lot easier!
I haven't taken the other switch off the wall yet, but I assume that will be just the same.
Hope someone can help as I don't want to damage or break anything!
