Hi all.
I have recently had my kitchen moved downstairs (I live in a townhouse) and have mains voltage LED downlights. I bought a Varilight IR V-Pro Trailing Edge dimmer and my Electrician fitted it yesterday. It worked fine for a few hours but now is going haywire and randomly turning on and off by itself!
Looks like it's faulty but I need lights working in my kitchen now!
So I have bought a standard 3 gang switch just to get the lights working for now.
However, after looking at the wiring on my new dimmer and looking at the back of my new switch I'm left confused as to what wires go where. I have successfully wired new switches in the past but have not gone from a dimmer like this to a standard switch.
Here's a photo of the wired up dimmer switch as it is now:
Not sure if it's clear in the above photo but there is also a grey wire with blue tape on it not connected to anything.
Here's the rear of the standard switch I want to install instead:
If any of you can help me wire this I would be eternally grateful
