[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 473729, member: 28452"] That's Ok. Strictly speaking the C, (common) of the dimmer should be the supply and L1 the load, but it would only matter if wired for 2way switching. Similarly it would be normal at the second switch to put the live into L and connect the load to L1. Again it makes no practical difference with single way switches. As for always seeing live at the output of the switch, what are you testing with? [/QUOTE]
