Hi
The symbol you are talking about is the output from the dimmer to the light fitting, i.e the switches/dimmed output

sorry but i disagree, the wavy line like this ~ indicates a.c. (alternating current) it also maeans the the dimmer is NOT for use on d.c. (direct current)

How do I wire a dimmer switch in an ordinary three-core cable leading from a 13amp plugtop to a spotlight over the bed? - i.e I'm not replacing a light switch in the house wiring.

you need to break the brown wire, so you have two browns, one in each side of the switch (doesnt matter which way round)
