As the title says today I replaced a simple 1 way 2 gang switch with a a 1 way 2 gang dimmer switch.
The first switch controls 2 ceiling lights with gu10 fittings which dim fine.
The second switch controls under cupboard lights which are fluorescent lamps, they originally come on and work fine, dimmable to an extent.
After working for a period of time, maybe half an hour, they will flicker extensively like in the attached video then will not work until turned off and given time before turning back on.
There is also an LED undercupboard light in the same circuit as the fluorescents which stops working after they flicker and turn off.
Any help is appreciated.

- TL;DR
- Fluorescent lights work fine with dimmer for a bit before flickering and turning off.
