"dont hammer cables" *makes notes 📒
Hi i am replacing my old halogen wall switch to a modern dimmer switch my wiring is Brown ( live) and Blue (neutral) plus earth. I notice on the new dimmable wall switch the connections are for Live but, what would be the neutral conn is referred to in the wiring instructions as " Switced Live" , do i connect the Blue wire to the Switched Live?
Hi! What is the "Fine Adjust" in the module of the dimmer? WIll that help me sorting out the flickering? I have compatible dimming switch with LEDs (min voltage included) but they keep flickering mid way when dimming...
Can you use these switches as a two way
What colors go where 🤦♂️
I’ve just removed my plastic two way switch and in the common terminal I have two live wires and in L1 I have one live cable, what should I do with the double live common wire?
pls call an electrician
I replaced lights with LED and found the existing dimmer switch is not compatible, any suggested brands for dimmer switches? not many options I can see online. Can a dimmer switch control mix of LED and incandescent lights?
Thank you for taking time to comment on my video.
The first thing you need to check is that the new LED lights are dimmable. Once confirmed, purchase a dimmer switch manufactured by British General. These can be obtained from outlets named similarly to toolfix or Screwstation (see what I did there?) They have been one of the most reliable dimmers that I have installed in these situations.
If your LED’s are not dimmable then they will need to be replaced.
If you are still using incandescent lamps then I would advise that you replace due to them being a fire hazard.
Please be sure to let me know how you get on.
Kind regards

Great Video...but if only you had remembered to check the recording level of the Mic !
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
This video was recorded on a standard iPhone. For some reason, a handful of people are experiencing sound issues whilst the majority are not. If I was able to identify the cause I would rectify it but the cause is unknown.
Thank you for your feedback.
Kind regards

If there isn't an earthing cable existing already, then what?
Great vid BTW
Hi Nick, thank you for taking the time comment, Great question.
A class 1 accessory (metal) MUST be connected to a circuit protective conductor (CPC/Earth). If there is not an earth present within the wiring system then the class 1 accessory cannot be Installed.
Kind regards
