Wiring up a 3 gang varilight remote dimmer

by papalazarou » Sun Apr 26, 2009 9:15 am

Hi all, I have just bought a Varilight 3 gang remote dimmer to put in my house and unsure how to wire it up. My current switch is just a single dimmer and there are 2 lots of 1mm twin and earth with 1 red wire going to the 'wavy line' is this the switch? and another 2 red wires going to L2. L1 has no wires in it and the 2 neutrals are just connected together and blanked off.

Now I have installed some spotlights and have another 2 1mm twin and earth running into the same box. I would like all 3 sets (main light that I have now and 2 sets of spots) to be independantly dimmable via the 3 gang dimmer so how do I go about this. The new dimmer has 3 boxes with the 'wavy line', slave, and live connections on each. Any help would be appreciated.

many thanks in advance.

Your wavy line is the common the Live should be treated as L1 and the slave be ignored for this configuration
