Got fed up of bright halogen lights in my living room running on a 2 way switch one does half the room other switch does other half so thought replace with a dimmer switch so could have course dim the lights stright forward... Yea lol
Have wired it up as was normal switch but only one side turns on and dims thought great works go for other side and just turns on does not dim?? Is it me or dodgy witch you think?
Got L1 L2 and C on both sides on old switch one side had all 3 taken up the other side only had L1 and C used? Copied that and the side with all 3 only turns on I'm lost lol anyone help?

What is the dimmer model #? Is it a normal single pole dimmer or is it a 2 circuit split dimmer?
