Hi, after decorating I have decided to replace 2 old brass dimmer switches with simple new plastic ones.
The circuit has 2 lights operated by dimmers (individual switches) and then a third light operated by a standard switch.
After replacing the 2 dimmer switches I have found everything works (turns on and dims) but if one of the dimmer lights is turned off while the non dimmer light is turned on, the dimmer light glows faintly (same as the lowest on setting) the other dimmer light stays off as expected.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Also the 2 old dimmer lights had the brown wire and blue with brown cover. The 2 were wired differently 2 each other - so one had the brown wire in the light bulb symbol connection and the blue with brown cover in the number 1. Then the other one was the other way round, I have put both now as plain brown wire into the light bulb symbol connection... is this right? Tried it as it was with the old switches and the opposit way around, all seems to end with the same result.
