Hi, I am replacing a single light switch that controls one light with a dimmer switch, I\\\'ve mixed up the labels and need some help to get it working properly please !
The dimmer switch has common, L1 and L2 terminals and I have two white wires coming from the wall each containing 3 copper coloured wires - black , red and one with no plastic cover. I put both blacks in common and both reds in L1 and the light came on but wouldn\\\'t turn off ?! Every other combination I have tried hasn\\\'t worked either.
Does anyone know which colour wires should go in which terminals ?
Any advice gratefully received !
