Hi hope somebody can help.
I have currently just 1st fixed a very big house with over 200 led spots in it. Some rooms even have 4 gang switches 2 wayed. Also nearly every room has dimmable switches. Now on the original drawings the wiring shows conventional dimming. ie dimmer one end rocker the other. So due to how many spots/ switching I wired it feed to switch strappers to next switch and switch wire up from second switch or 2 plate as i call it. (neutrals around lights).
The client has now asked if its possible to dim from both ends. Looking into it I found master/ slave dimmers which you can do from both ends but the trouble I have is that all wiring diagrams show that the only way these can work is if you have 3 cores between the switches. ie 3 core strappers with live/ switch live from light. (3 plate).
Can anybody shed some light on this issue for me.
Thank you.
 
might be an idea to use remote control dimmers.
 
My current customer bought a load of lightwave rf remote plates the can be paired to iphone or tablet or rf remote,
