This has provided a lot of clarity, thank you. Just to confirm then, theoretically,  If Switch 2 is powered at the common terminal, connection to the light runs from NO, and connection to the dimmer runs from NC, so when the switch is not pressed, power still goes to the light, and when the...

Dimmer is a standard pwm deal, with 4 terminals, +/- v in & +/- v out Aye, ground is chassis. So switch 2 being a 2 way, is that a dpdt? Would this one work and how would you connect it? Thanks!
