Thank you. I have found the permanent live and have put a small length of cable across the gangs which gets the wall lights to work however I cannot get the wall lights to switch off or dim! Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks, yes an earth wire is present at the switches.

Thanks all. 1 link wire was present. PrenticeBoyofDerry is describing the exact setup of the wiring. In any event I have taken on board what you say and will get the perm live tested.

Thanks. It is a two gang switch. So all I need to do is link across from the red wire of the ceiling light into the appropriate COM in the switch for the wall lights? I am assuming nothing is required for L1? Thanks

Thanks all for your help. Very newbie question and once told, it all starts to become rather obvious doesn't it? I will endeavour to read the instructions for as long as is necessary next time!

Two lights in the room. :)

Hi all. Struggling to wire a new dimmer switch here. Want to be sure I'm not going to do something silly. Old switch had L1 and Common. Two red wires into L1 and two black into Common. New switch has L1, Common and L2. On the new switch the common part is empty (i.e it is...

Thanks that did it. Pin appeared to be stuck and seems to be a bit stiff still! Rad is the only one is the system that is stone cold so fingers crossed it'll warm up at least a little! Thanks

Can't seem to shift this thing and all the threads I've looked at seem to have different spec TRVs. Any ideas? Thanks
