[QUOTE="BlueMike856, post: 520472, member: 34260"] I have tried to install a one gang smart light switch (no Neutral) so just the two wires, I connected the red (live) to L and the Black to L2 on the new switch (these are the only two available). However, the black wire has brown tape on it and the switch is not working. I looked up the reason for the brown tape but just cannot get my head around it and I'm even more confused now! Can someone please explain why this isn't working and what I have to do? [/QUOTE]
