Hi all.
In my lounge I have two wall lights and a ceiling rose.
I had a standard 3 light switch which controlled each light.
I purchased a dimmer switch with only two switches on it with the intention that one would control the ceiling rose and the other control BOTH wall lights.
When I removed the old switch it had two wires (red and black) that looped from the ceiling rose switch and into the two switches that controlled the wall lights.
I have not replaced these two wires into the new dimmer switch.
I have now wired the dimmer switch and the ceiling rose works fine but the wall lights do not. I am assuming that those two wires were used to bring the feed from the ceiling rose to power the wall lights.
Is there anyway I can wire the new dimmer switch to power the wall lights in the same way or is it not a good idea to wire it this way?
New switch has L1, L2, COM for each dimmer.
I hope I didn't loose any of you there.
Thanks
