Re: Cannot get electrical light switch to turn on commercial PL Downlights, Please he
I would tend to agree with Trev and ensure that you have the correct connections, from the wiring diagrams for the touch switch the terminal identification is apparently the same as you would expect for a two way switch but the function is different.
If you are using a two gang touch switch are you also using a two gang rocker switch?
A two gang rocker switch with a permanent line looped to the commons and individual switched lines one coming from each of the L1s should then be wired on the touch switch with the permanent line to L and the switched lines individually to L1 and L2 respectively.
Using a single gang rocker switch and connecting permanent line to com and switched line to L1 and it is working; then connecting the touch switch permanent line to L and switched line to L1 and allowing 2 minutes after power up before testing then it should work, however you would only be using one of the two gangs on the touch switch.
