replacing 2 gang 1 way dimmer with 2 gang 2 way switch
Help.
Have 2 lights that did work independently off same 2 gang 1way dimmer switch. Need to replace switch with 2 gang 2 way.
Cable1 has Red + Blue + earth & cable 2 has red + Black + Yellow + earth. Blue & black were joined via a connector. Earths were both grounded.
Dimmer connection was red from cable 1 to C (bridged to both boxes). Yellow cable 2 went to box 1 L1. Red cable 2 went to box 2 L1.
New switch has C + L1 + L2 (again 2 boxes). Where should I put the wires?

I am sure this is UK system.,,
So bear with me a min to get this straght.,,
you have one with dimmer { one way } and one reguair switch point { one way } ?
and you want to change over to 2 way ? for both luminaires ?
Both luminaire indepent { each it own switch }??
I am pretty sure the cable two is old style cable while the cable one is newer one due the colour code.
let us know then we can go from there.
{ Is any chance can you run the dimmer model number to make sure thanks }
Merci,Marc
