can u help please?
i'm trying to replace a 1 gang 2 way timer (push in) switch but by mistake i bought a 1 gang 2 way timer DIMMER switch. i have 3 switches to 3 lights 2 wayed so my question is can i use this timer DIMMER switch even though the other 2 switches aren't dimmers? i assume i can but my real question is if i can use a dimmer for thosw bulbs 60watts...


actually i took off all 3 switches and now i dont know how to re connect it i know how to do a simple 2 way (1 light with 2 switches) but this is 3 lights with 3 switches working all ways how do i connect it?

If you have 3 switches controlling 3 lights & they all go on/off together from any switch then you have 2 2-way & 1 intermediate swich. The intermediate switch is connected between the cores that connect terminals L1 & L2(usually) of the 2 2-way switches.So on the 4 terminal intermediate switch you should connect 1 cable to the top 2 terminals & the other cable to the bottom 2 terminals. Your dimmer should be capable of running 3x60W lamps.
