I've been trawling about 25 threads for an answer to what I hope is a really simple question about how I replace a 2 gang switch, which currently controls two seperate hanging light fittings in my lounge, to a single dimmer switch.
I don't want to control the lights independently any more as they're only six feet apart in a small living room. but I'd like to brighten and dim both lights simultaneously with the one gang dimmer.
The current 2 gang switch has a single red, blue and yellow wires going into it and there is a bridging wire between the red wire port and another port.
I thought this would be really simple but I can get it to turn on one light or the other but not both at the same time. The dimmer switch has a L1, L2 and switching port. Or is a single dimmer switch simply not capable of controlling six bulbs (3 in each light fitting)?
