I am having trouble wiring up a light socket in my house and was hoping for some help.
On the one wall there is a socket that controls 3 lights, the hall, lounge and landing. On the back wall there is a socket that controls just the lounge, it's the latter I want to replace so have purchased a two way dimmer.
When I remove the existing socket it has two holes labelled L1 L1 at the top with a brown and black cable in each and two holes at the bottom labelled L2 L2 at the bottom with a brown and black wire in. There are two grey cables that aren't connected.
The back of the dimmer switch has 3 holes. ~, L1 and L2. Have I got the right socket and if so which cables go in which hole?
Thanks in advance for your help.
