Hi Everyone
Can someone please help with the following? Thanks!
I have bought two 1 gang 2-way 400W dimmers. I plan on using them in the hallway to control 6 x 50W mains voltage downlights (i.e. 300W).
However, when I connected them (1.5mm wire from JB to 1st dimmer with 1.0mm 3-core and earth between the dimmers) the lights don't work (i.e. they flicker and barely light up).
The strange thing is that before I bought the second 400W dimmer I checked that everything was OK using a 400W dimmer and a 2 gang 2-way 250W dimmer and this worked fine (other than the 250W dimmer which made a lot of buzzing but I took this to be because of the fact that it was only 250W). I have replaced the 250W 2-gang dimmer with two different 400W 1-gang dimmers but it still doesn't work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
