Hi folks, Thanks again for almost all your suggestions. It turns out knowall was spot on, his wiring suggestion was correct. The problem was with the sealed LED lights the previous tenant installed on the right hand side of the room. They have built in transformers that are incompatible...

Cheers EFLI, Not sure I understood that but when I isolate the live (red) wire from both L connections none of the lights come on.

Thanks bernard, but the yellow/blue wires are linked to the lights that work normally. It's the lights on the other side of the room which are simply wired using the live and switch that are now on permanently?

Thanks EFLI, I've swapped the cables in the Switch terminals (blue/yellow with the red) and that made no difference to the lights other than the switches were swapped. That would indicate the 2 gang dimmer switch is fine, I just don't understand why the lights on the right hand side of the...

Cheers Sparlwright, There's a pullcord switch at the other end of the room that operates the left hand side lights along with the left switch on the two gang I'm replacing. I'll remove it as soon as I get this working.

Thanks PBDerry, I figured consulting a forum for advice might result in a few less than helpful responses... but to his credit, Knowall did offer the least cryptic (and least patronising) response so far. I did consult the instructions...

Hi KA, I finally got round to rewiring the switch following your instructions. The left switch works fine but the right switch doesn't. The right hand side lights are on permanently. Not sure if I misunderstood something: Cheers, A

Thanks knowall, I'll give that a go this weekend. A

Cheers knowall, Yes, ideally I'd like to do away with the other single switch altogether and control both sets of lights from the one 2 gang in the photo... I just can't identify which cable comes from that switch, so I thought I'd simply replace the switch like for like. So based on what...

Hi folks, I'm replacing an unfortunately positioned 2 gang light switch with an equivalent LightwaveRF switch so I can operate it remotely. The sThe left hand switch is linked to another switch at the other end of the room. Following some advice on this forum I've taken a few photos of the...
