    LED dimmer problems UK

    Just fitted 7 LED downlights and all working okay but want to replace the switch with a dimmer. Existing switch has the 2 browns in a block then at the top L1 = Black L2 = grey and the bottom L1 = Grey and L2 black but the dimmer just has one L1 and L2. Do I just pair the L1s and L2s together ?

    Probably a silly question as I haven’t come across it yet. On a 2 way switch I assume a dimmable lamp will work ok with 1 switch on a dimmer and the other on a normal light switch? So no dim when the normal light switch is pressed (just on/off) but when the dimmer switch is used the light will...
