Hi guys.
I have a problem, which I can't understand how to fix, but I'm sure its a trivial answer for any electrician.
I had a double switch in my room which controls a light in my room and a light outside it. The light outside the room is also controlled by another switch downstairs.
I have attempted to put in a double dimmer switch in my room for the two lights, but have got confused with different labelling on the switches.
On the original switch the wiring was as follows:
A- light inside my room
B- light outside room
A L1 Com Red wire
A L2 Yellow wire
A L3 Empty
B L1 Com Black
B L2 Blue and Black wires
B L3 Two red wires
The new switches have Com, L1 and L2.
I connected these up how I thought fitted with the new switch.
However, when I turn on one switch it turns one light on, and when I turn off the switch it turns the other light on.
The other switch only controls one light and will turn that on and off as it should.
I have probably got the wiring wrong on the new switch.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
