    Oh! :shock: Where does the black wire go? is that to the other switch or the light? What other wires are present at the other switch? This all sounds unusual. How does the other switch work? A=Other Switch B=Dimmer If A is on light can be turned on/off from B If A is off light cannot...

    LED Lights, Plug-in Transformer & a lighting circuit

    Firstly I am reasonably competent and generally know what I don't know. I have managed to successfully install 2 Futronix lighting systems in my house. The reason for 2 is that I need 6 zones and they can only handle 4. System 1 is Lounge (1), Hall (2) & Landing (3) (P800 & 4 Switch Panels)...
