Hi. I've fitted new light fittings but I can't work out why my 2 way dimmer switche is controlling both lights on only 1 working button. I'm trying all sorts but I control both with 1 switch and the does not work. Help
 
sounds like you have fitted 2 2 way dimmers. you need to change one of them for a rocker switch. you can buy dimmer switches that will work with both being dimmers, but i'd not bother.
