[QUOTE="d3rob, post: 533443, member: 35529"] Careful with this one. The white fitting has neutral, switched live (SL) and Live(L). The dimmer switch deals with live only. If it is one way (ie only the one switch to the light) then use the common terminal (the wiggly icon) for live and either L1 or L2 for the switched live feed to your fitting. L1 and L2 allow you to connect a parallel switch for 2 way control for which you will probably find a wiring diagram included with the dimmer. NB no neutral to the dimmer switch or sparks will fly. To be clear, the neutral is not switched, it stays at your light fitting. [/QUOTE]
