Just moved to a new house with... interesting wiring to say the least. Friend came by to install a dimmer switch, the result being that the lights switch on, but at their lowest brightness, and don't go up or down from there. It's a double-dimmer.
At first i thought maybe it was the bulbs, so I tried a whole load of options, wattages etc... Nada.
Then i thought maybe the switch was knackered, so I unscrewed it and found a bunch of extra wires in there... it's like electric sudoku. Now I'm wondering if it's just been wired up wrong cos it's not symmetrical and there are a bunch of extra wires in there to... i dunno.
If anyone likes a brain teaser - perhaps they can give me some pointers of what should go where and what to do with the other cables? Attached some pics if anyone thinks they're up to the challenge...
