Thanks for all the advice. I do of course understand it's all hypothetical at the moment & will not proceed till I'm 100% sure what the setup is.

Sorry for the ignorant question but does "secure" mean more than just wrapping the end of the cable in insulating tape?

Yes I think so. Is it important to put the dimmer on the wire that goes direct to the light (brown in the picture) or could it go in either place?

I'll have a look but I imagine it was done like this (don't know if french lighting standards are any different to English):

I haven't looked yet but I imagine it's the classic two wires between the switches & the third to the light & to the fusebox. It was wired up by an English DIYer (here in France) but that probably doesn't mean anything

It's Legrand (in France) and they are so expensive that I bought the cheapest of a reputable brand (£eighteen) which it turns out is a 1 way dimmer.

Hi there, I have 2 two way switches connected to a ceiling light. Can I just replace one of the switches with the dimmer (which only has two sockets) and just close off the third wire. Will the result be that the two way switch becomes the master on/off switch & the dimmer will do...
