We no longer require the dimming function so, by disconnecting the 2 x 10V connections from the variable resistor, the lights are operating at maximum brightness. Just checking is it okay to leave these 2 leads disconnected, or...

    Replacing two-way switch with dimmer.

    So, my set up is a little different to most people's. The switch I'm wanting to replace is a retractive switch, but the wiring behind the switch includes: yellow, black, blue, earth and a thick grey wire with a red stripe running the whole way down the middle. I managed to get the dimmer...

    Fitting a dimmer in my electric funhouse with extra orange/grey cables? Pics attached.

    Just moved to a new house with... interesting wiring to say the least. Friend came by to install a dimmer switch, the result being that the lights switch on, but at their lowest brightness, and don't go up or down from there. It's a double-dimmer. At first i thought maybe it was the bulbs, so I...

    Photocell Dimmer (20 Characters.............)

    Apologies if these are common knowledge, but I've not come across them, but hoping they exist. I'm after a standalone dimmer that lowers the output of some lights as natural sunlight to the room increases, so that the light is always pretty much a constant but we save money when it's sunny. Any...
