I have 4 wall lights and want to replace the switch with a dimmer.
In the box in the wall there are two thick grey cables each with a black, red and green wire - ok so far?
The black ones were taped up in a terminal block and there was one red wire in each end of the old switch.
The dimmer switch has 3 holes - the line with an arrow, L1 and L2.
I have tried just about every combination of wires to make these work and they don't - do I just keep the blacks in a block? if so how do I know which red goes into which other hole!!! Please help!
