changing 2 normal switches into 2 dimmer switches

Com on the old switch is the sqiggle with the line through it on the new.
1WAY on the old is L1 on the new.
The green/yellow CPC/earth must be connected to the terminal next to your thumb as it is a metal face plate. It may not have been connected in your old switch (Looks like a plastic switch and back-box)

What sort/size of bulbs/lamps are you dimming? As you will have noticed, those dimmers require a minimum load of 60W to work - and, of course, the bulbs/lamps need to be of a 'dimmable' type (and, even then, not all dimmable lamps work with all dimmers).

Fair enough. If there is just one lamp on each dimmer, 50W is obviously fractionally less than the dimmers' 'minimum' of 60W, but it very probably would work. If there is more than one (but no more than five!) 50W lamps per dimmer, there clearly would be no problem.
