Hi,
one of ceiling lights in our living room has stopped working. I think it had something to do with the old dimmer switch becuase it use to make a buzzing noise when ever a light was switched on and overtime it may have developed a fault.
My old 2 gang dimmer had one 'c' terminal and two of each of the L1 & L2 terminals. The new dimmer switch has two of each terminals.
x2 'c' terminal and x2 L1 & L2 terminals.
I've got three wires comming out the wall. Two reds which one is constantly live, and one black wire. The old dimmer the black and one of the red wires were connected to both the L1 terminals and the red live wire conncted to the 'C' terminal.
As the new dimmer switch has two 'C' terminals , do I have to put a link wire in-between both of the 'C' terminals because only one lights currently works with the new dimmer.
No power is going to one of the light fitting either.
cheers.
