    Yes, the black wire has got a red marking on it. I connected it black to L1, red to squiggly thing and earth, stood well back and re-set the trip and all was ok, no instant trip, smoke or flames. The dimmer works ok. We had our wiring checked and a new consumer board installed 11 months ago...

    there are three terminals in both the new and old dimmer. L1, L2 and C on the old and L1, L2 and ~ on the new plus earth. One red and one black wire and earth behind the switch.

    Hi. I'm replacing a plastic dimmer with a chrome one. Connections on the old one are black to L1, red to C. The new one has ~ instead of C, are they the same? I know I need to earth the chrome one too! Any help would be great, thanks.
