Hi,
In the instructions it clearly says that the 2 gang varilight can not be used as part of a 2 way circuit with a normal switch. My problem is the normal switch is part of a normal 2 gang and the other switch here controls 2 outside lights which I really dont need dimming!
I guess the safe options are to try to seek out a IR dim/ normal 2 gang switch (if such a thing exists) or rake out some plasterboard and replace my 2 gang normal switch with a single normal (for outside) and a single Varilight, but before I go investing money or wrecking walls I just wondered what kind of issues I'm gonna come up against if I try to put my Varilight up against a normal switch in a 2 way circuit. (I really dont want to burn my house down if I can help it)
Anyone help?
Cheers
