[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 18911, member: 250"] Forgot to add on my earlier post... remember that some manufactures call there switch terminations different names... e.g. Crabtree standard white plastic plates switch use common termination is 'L1', (No 'C' or common designation), two-way switch terminations are 'L2' & 'L3' whereas on their Crabtree low profile flush plate dimmer switch.. common termination is '~' (The squiggle sine wave AC symbol), two-way switch terminations are 'L1' & 'L2' others just call them 'C', 'L1', 'L2' so you can have; 'C' or 'L1' or '~' for your commons. and 'L1' or 'L2' or 'L3' for your two-way switch terminations! so if the same manufacture calls them different designations.... what chance with different manufactures products? So its just nice that its all clear as MUD and nice and standard!! :P ; \ :| :( [/QUOTE]
