I recently bought a double dimmer switch to replace a standard double light switch. However, the supplied instructions seem to cover every other switch the company produces, but not the one I got.
Each of the switches has three connections - L1, L2 and a variable resistor(?) symbol (actually, it's a ~ symbol with an arrow through it). My assumption was that the live wire is put into either L1 or L2 (using L1 for one lamp and L2 for the other) and the lamp wire is put into the variable connector. However, in the current standard double switch, there is a common wire that joins the two switches. I can't quite figure out whether something similar is required in my new switch. Can anybody help me out a little on this? The current light switch is the only switch for the two lights.
Thanks in advance!
