And yes, I know the dimmers are on the cheap side (although £20+ each isn't dirt cheap) but we're currently renovating 8 rooms so trying to budget and manage as best as we can. The LAP sockets don't seem too bad but the switches aren't great as the terminal screws are so weak and it's a...

Ericmark, thanks so much for that information. Those instructions are the ones I have at home. I have now got the lights working as they should. It was the fact that I had the 2 commons linked. Apologies to Flameport for misunderstanding his advice! Thank you everyone for your help - It's...

Now I have thought about this more, I think I know the answer to my previous question. The supply into L1 should be joined by the link cable from the com on the other gang. When I previously moved the feed to L1 (flameports advice), I didn't move the link cable with it. I will do this and...

Thank you Adam. And to Flameport too for their earlier help. It is appreciated. I won't be playing around with this any more this evening but will let you know how it goes. The small link cable would go from com on the ceiling light gang to L1 on the wall light gang or to com on the wall...

I have 5 cables coming into the back box. t+e feed from bathroom t+e feed to lounge t+e to ceiling light t+e to wall light 3c+e to intermediate switch All blues are connected together in connection block. The browns from the 2 feed cables go to a common each (one to each gang) and there's a...

Thanks Ericmark. Do you think the issue is more with the dimmer compatibility then? I have wired it as the manufacturer's instructions. Seeing as the dimmer turns on and off and dims suggests that the wiring is correct? The 3 way switching appears to be wired correctly too as you can...

And just to give more details, we can turn the light on and off from the dimmer and dim it without a problem. If the dimmer is off, we can turn the light on and off from the switches by the bed. But, if the dimmer is on, the wall switches by the bed don't turn the light off. Press the (either)...

Flameport, thank you. I have tried that but still have the same issues. Just to confirm that the supply cable to L1 that you refer to is one of the 2 supply cables I have (supply from previous room and supply to next room)? Basically I should have a permanent live in L1? And the brown to the...

And I forgot to say previously that if you turn the lights on from the bed, you can't then dim them or turn them off at the main switch. We are using dimmable LED's. They are 3.6W and there are 2 of them in the wall light.

Wiring at the dimmer is (for the wall light): The wiring is loop at the switch wiring. Supply in and out go to alternate coms on the dimmer with a link wire in between. Brown from wall light goes to L2 along with grey from the 3c+e to the intermediate. Brown from 3c+e goes to com (not as it...

Good afternoon, I have been replacing some light switches in the bedroom as we wanted a dimmer but the lights are acting a bit strange so am hoping to find out whether it's something I have done or if it's the new dimmer. We have a ceiling light and a wall light. The ceiling lights switches at...
