2 way dimmer and JCC V50 cutting out

[ash110694]

Hi guys, just installed new JCC V50 down lights with two 2 way brushed brass dimmer switches from Knightsbridge. When I turn one of dimmers up fully it cuts the light out. And then sometimes they flicker on start up… then if I have one switch dimmed to the lowest and the other is switched to the brightest they don’t even turn on.

Does anyone know what’s going on? It’s like the switches aren’t working together properly, I can’t work it out. Any help is welcomed! Thanks

Normal dimmers should only be fitted at one end of a 2 way lighting circuit.

Normal dimmers should only be fitted at one end of a 2 way lighting circuit.

So I should have one dimmer and one normal 2 way switch? It is a trailing edge dimmer

Yes, with standard dimmers you can only have one - the other end should a switch. There are types you can get that are master/slave setups which allow dimming at both ends...
