[QUOTE="pixie6, post: 14040, member: 1282"] Thanks very much for all your friendly help guys - particularly to SPECIAL LOCATION. You are correct on all counts when you summarise the problem. We did a test by wiring up a single Rania dimmer in my lounge to a single Rania slave on the stairs and that didn't work properly either. Control would simply switch from one place to the other - meaning that if you turned the light off on the stairs, you had to go up to the lounge to turn it back on again. Madness. He has fitted several other single Rania dimmers in my house successfully operating recessed downlights in my ceilings. It's just the track lighting with spotlights that they don't seem to work with. I have now given up and got him to put normal toggle switches in the two rooms with a double toggle on the stairs for 2-way switching. This means that the 2 rooms in question are not dimmable which is a real shame. You are right also when you say that it could be one simple oversight by my electrician. He has never fitted Lutron equipment before. He is fully qualified and has certified my house, but I think he rewires pubs normally, so they wouldn't be needing Rania dimmers! I have one final outstanding issue with my 12v tracklights which might be easier for you to solve for me. Occasionally, some of the spotlights on the tracks flicker ever so slightly. Not totally on and off, but just get slightly dimmer and brighter very quickly. Do you think I should get some electrical contact spray and put this on the spotlights where they touch the track? Otherwise, what could be causing it please? Thanks, Pixie. [/QUOTE]
