Hello and first thank you for creating a place where DIY amateurs can get advice!
I just bought a house and have been fitting the lights myself. All rooms worked properly, except for the living room where the potentiometers do not seem to have any effect (Neither dimming nor switching off the light) and where, depending on how I wire the bulb, either the light is always on or always off...
I know it used to work fine with the previous owners as they had ceiling lights plugged in.
That is the potentiometer
That is how the potentiometer is wired in the inside
Red cable on L1 and Black cable in the C
This is the wiring on the ceiling
If I wire my lamp in A and C, the light is always on, if I wire in A and B, the light is always off.
There is no other light switch in the room.
If anybody has any advice... I am interested!
Maybe it is a stupid question, in which case, apologies.
Thanks
