A few months ago i have my hallway double switch replaced with a trebble dimmer switch with a addition of a new cable for a 2nd light in the downstairs hallway.
Ever since tbe upstairs light has been playing up.
Sometimes it doesnt turn from thw upstairs switch and have to come downstairs to turn it on
And sometimes it wont come on from the downstairs switch and have to go upstairs and turn it on
Furthermore, at all times when its on, its buzzes, sometimes flickers constantly and have to switch it on off a few times to sort it....
Ive had the sparky out who installed it originally and hes explanation for the flickering and buzzing was that its quite normal because its a dimmer switch, but i fail to understand how thats right, becuase i have dimmers in other rooms in the house too and they seem to work just fine, maybe a little buzzy on the low setting but certainly dont flicker
And secondly he couldn't work out why its intermittently not switching on.
Please can someone advise?
