[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 543892, member: 250"] Is this dimmer one with a rotary on/off function.. e.g. the dimmer has to be rotated past the lowest level before it turns off? Or is it one with a push on/off function.. e.g. the dimmer can be pressed while the lights are at any level low or high, and it will (should) turn them fully off? If push type.. do your fault symptoms differ if you turn the lights off at varying light levels? Other thoughts & side notes:- 1/ Why no earth connected. 2/ miniature push fit wago's are better in the back of light switches rather than the more bulky lever ones visible in the photo. 3/ I would probably not have stuffed so many wires into the actual switch terminals.. (better to wago multiple cables together then single wire into switch terminals ) 4/ 6x 13watt LED's???? 13watt are pretty high power LED's sure you don't mean 3watt?? [/QUOTE]
