At the moment I have a simple bathroom light with a pull cord.
Insie, it has three wires; Red, Blank and Earth (which is connected to the earth point on the plastic surround).
I have in my hands a dimmer switch from Eterna (model DIM250).
It has the following connections available (this is what is embossed above the connection points in the plastic):
'IN' 'LOAD'
============================
N -> N ->
L -> ~ ->
The ~ is actually a wavy line with an arrow through it.
What wires do I connect to what ?
I have tried the obvious (Black and Red to N & L on the 'IN' side, then Black and Red to N and wavy-line on the 'LOAD' side) but it doesn't work.
I don't want to start hacking wires up without seeking advice !
The installation instructions (which can be seen at www.eterna-lighting.co.uk, search for DIM250 and you'll get the pdf) doesn't really clear it up for me either.
Thanks
