    Ring main.

    Ah so I did. There was also another post at #320. Must have been a busy week. Just a note.

Board is about to...

    One Way Switch Issue. Help!

    I think the Lighting feed to the common, spare room and bedroom to L1. You can still use the dimmer, although, I might be tempted to use a 2 ganged switch/dimmer and control the two rooms separately.
