And normal filament lamps in the lights that "flashed like a strobe"? Or were they fluorescents? They were energy saving bulkbs if that makes a difference?

Hi My drivers side window is electric and yesterday I wound it down and it only went down an inch and will not go back up. If I driver around it slowly slips down and I have to manually pull it up but cannot get it to the top? Help?!

I know this going to probably sound really dumb but I dont have a multimeter but do have a screwdriver with a light in. If i touch this on the wires will it show me which one is live without frying me?

Yeah normal filament lamps. I think I will need a sparky for this one, I dont understand the original switch had a wavy line and L1 combined which had two wires in and an L2 with a single wire!

Hi, this is true, but if I do as you suggest then none of the lights come on! I know the wiring may seem to be a bit of a puzzle, its a 60s council building and electrics have caused us problems before.

Yeah I have but thank you

I think I need to make it a bit clearer, not electrically minded so may of confused things. The switch has an earth wire attached to the case. One combination of wires, two in wavy line and one in L1 means light on all the time and lights in kitchen and living room flash like a strobe light...

Hi, I am having a real problem with wiring a dimmer switch, I know from reading around and looking at other dimmers I have in the house that two wires go to the wavy line and one to L1 but I have tried all combinations (all three wires are red) and have no luck. This switch is the last one...
