I have replaced a double dimmer switch ehich was old and tacky with a new dimmer switch and it was wired just the same as the old one.
What happens is that there is only power to the wall lights when the power to the ceiling light is on.
If i have the ceiling light on full I can dim the walls lights and have them full but if i dim the ceiling light or turn it off, the same thing happens with the wall lights.
The old dimmer switch never had this problem but i noticed that on the inside of the old dimmer was one black box whereas on the new dimmer there are 2 seperate boxes
