Hiya all i fitted a touch type dimmer switch in my lounge last year, this weekend the missus bought a new light fitting, so of course i gotta fit it straightaway, so me being lazy just touched the dimmer to switch off light, (big mistake) when i put my crappy terminal driver (from the kitchen drawer) into the switchwire connection, bang it was still live - fell from stool and banged head on sofa, so beware it just goes to show the importance of proper isolation and testing circuit to see its dead. (so be careful all of you)---still alive dave
