Hi Everyone,
Just joined after failing to find an answer on google.
We have a two-way switch circuit for the lights in our living room - they work fine.
Both two-way switches have a red wire going to the 'COM' terminal, a yellow wire going to the L1 terminal and a blue wire going to the L2 terminal. There is also an earth wire connected to the boxwork.
However, from wiring diagrams I have found online I was expecting a switch wire coming out of the L1 and L2 terminals of a 'master' switch with the other switch acting as a 'slave' - this is clearly not the case...
Is our setup an alternative way of wiring up the circuit, or is there likely to be a connector box hidden somewhere which connects the L1 and L2 wires to a switch wire?
I am asking because we want to replace one or both of the switches with a touch-sensitive dimmer. The ones from B&Q come in both 'master' and 'slave' versions and I currently have no idea which I need.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks.
