Hi There,
I need to buy some dimmer switches - hoping you can help me with the correct ones. I'm a DIYer and have replaced a few dimmer switches before, but this is a little more complex.
All of my lights are LED quartz8b-3k 36V 8W
I have the below setups that I need dimmers for:
I hope that all makes sense and I've used the right terminology!
Could you advise what dimmers I need to control these and, with the three way set up, do you have a master dimmer and the others are just on/off controls? Or are you able to dim both gangs of lights from all three areas? Or maybe you can only have one dimmer and the rest must be on/off switches, in which case can you have the dimmer on one gang and the on/off on the other downstairs, and vice versa upstairs? Or are there options for both that affect the cost?
Many thanks in advance!
Thanks, Lewis

I have the below setups that I need dimmers for:
- one gang (controlling 2x lights) - one way
- one gang (controlling 7x lights) - one way
- two gang (controlling 3x lights downstairs where one switch is and 9x lights upstairs where two of the switches are) - three way (i believe?)
I hope that all makes sense and I've used the right terminology!

- TL;DR
- what set up do I need?
- one gang (controlling 2x lights) - one way
- one gang (controlling 7x lights) - one way
- two gang (controlling 3x lights downstairs where one switch is and 9x lights upstairs where two of the switches are) - three way (i believe?)
