Wiring a 2 gang dimmer switch
Reply with quote Thanks

I am replacing a normal two gang light switch with a dimmer switch.On each dimmer switch are three terminals, L1, L2 and a wavy line.There ate two cables coming to the present light switch as follows
Cable 1 Earth wire connected to the wall plate, the red wire connected to the switch and the black wire hanging loose
Cable 2 Red wire connected , the black wire with a red tube over and the earth wire all connected to the switch.
Can you help? icon_question.gif icon_question.gif icon_question.gif
