Hi, any help on the following would be greatly appreciated...
My lounge has two lights in it. It currently has a 2-gang switch, but one switch turns both lights on and off. The other does nothing (as far as I can tell!)
I have bought a dimmer to replace the current switch. Since only 1 switch does anything, I bought a single dimmer to connect to both lights.
Four cables come into the box. All four earths are earthed, all four black cables are connected together. The four reds are connected to the light switch. 2 cables go into the '1 Way A', and 2 cables go into '1 Way B', and the two Coms are connected together with a seperate length of wire
I assume that to replace this with my single dimmer, I connect one pair of reds to the live of the new switch, and one pair to the load side. Is this correct, and will it matter which way round I do it?
Many thanks!
Sam
