Hi all,

I am upgrading a Tenby lightswitch to a Marbo dimmer single 2way 400W and would like confirmation of how to wire up the new dimmer. The light is 3x60W (dimmable) so the 400W is certainly within spec.

The pictures aren't appearing for some reason, so please click the above links to see the current and planned setup.

Please can you confirm what goes where?

I will have the deepen the recess so that the deeper dimmer will fit, but I have test wired the dimmer and it works perfectly.
