Hi
I have just purchased a replacement 2 gang dimmer but having removed the old dimmer the wiring does not relate to any info I can find online or in the install guide.
The dimmer controls 2 separate lights in the lounge.
There are currently 3 cables and an earth.
On the left side a blue cable with a red band on it goes to the Com and a red to the L2,
On the Right side a yellow cable with red band goes to the Com and a red jump lead from the left side goes into the L1 terminal.
What confuses me is why from what I have read the jump (bridge) does not go from Com to Com and or L1 to L1 instead of L1 to L2.
The new dimmer is a 2 gang 2 way BG Nexus which has the L1, L2 and Com on both sides.
Is it safe to copy the existing wiring or do. I need to follow the online guides of bridging the Com terminal.
Any help much appreciated
