[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 518524, member: 1607"] You are incorrect, the Brown and both of the Blues wires are all Live conductors, this is how two-way switches have to be wired for them to work. Assuming they are wired correctly, there is no need to remove the standard switch. All you have to do is only use the dimmer. And as has been mentioned, with most rental properties you should not be altering any fixed wiring or accessories without the landlords permission. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
