What's Gone Wrong? Installing a Double Dimmer 2 way Switches

Shammy · 15 Dec 2004

Please can you help. I am trying to fit a Rocca/Homebase Double Dimmer 250 watt 2 way switch - this is replacing a Two Gang Switch.

The Problem is that the left hand side works - Dimmers goes off etc. But the Right hand is constantly on (live) when the power is switched back on.

Can someone please help?

Sounds like you have the phase/live in terminal L1 or L2 instead of the common terminal.

Yup! Had no common marked on the box - so tried the other ones and it now works perfect - no more trips!

Thank you so much comms
