[QUOTE="user 35799, post: 535924, member: 35799"] Hi all. About to get a kitchen fitted . Decided to get Luceco fire rated downlights. Have them as 2 rows of 3 to be ran off a double dimmer.Original wiring was a single pendant to a single switch.Junction box had 5 cables connected. My issue , the original switched line to switch works on one bank of down lights. Original switch line. However the cable I ran to switch to power second row of downlights , switched live. Now controls dining room light in separate room and the extractor fan in the kitchen. I have joined the cables into 8 way wagons, the 2 separate switched lines are in 2 way connector blocks. I do not understand how the dimmer is turning on/off the dining room / extractor fan. I have used both com and L2 at the dimmer. [/QUOTE]
