Gents,
Im having a bit of a mare and need some help.
Basically, I have 2 dimmer switches in each of the 2 bedrooms, I want to put another one in the spare room. I have an LED bulb and also a Halogen one. Have tried both.
Basically, I have bought 2 or 3 LED compatible dimmers, one is identical to what I have in one of the other rooms.
However, the dimmer will NOT work in the 3rd room. The bulb works in the other room with the other dimmers, but it wont work in the 3rd room and its driving me round the bend.
From what I can see, the wiring is IDENTICAL. So the majority of the house was re-wired, but from what I can see, the sod didnt change the wiring to the upstairs light fittings, but I still get a thick red and thich black cable (same as the other rooms). ONLY different in the 3rd room is that the earth wire is not available to screw to the back of the switch (is that an issue)? The green earth cable seems to be looped back into itself so the end isnt showing, and im reluctant to expose it in case its not meant to be used??
Can anyone help!!
Its driving me round the frigging bend!
Could it be that the wiring to the light fitting is not good enough to cope with the dimmer? BAFFLED!!!
