Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me with wiring a 1 gang 2 way dimmer switch. The dimmer has 3 connectors (L1, L2 and COM). From reading the other posts I understand these to be on-way, two-way and common. The Wires from the wall are 2 red, 1 black and one earth. These wires come from 2 main sheaths.
I have had a look at the other connected socket (not a dimmer) and it has 1 red in L1, 1 red in L2, then 1 black in a second L1 and one black in a second L2. Earths are connected.
I have currently got the dimmer set up as Black in COM, red in L1 and red in L2 but this doesn't work. Please could someone advise of the correct combination? I'm not really bothered which switch turns the light on, provided something does.
Many thanks in advance.
Stephen
