    Ok hands up I am crap at this stuff so need a little advise ( don't laugh) :o

    SO in my front room I have 5 sunken lights
    3 controlled on one dimmer
    2 controlled on second dimmer

    What I want to know is can I change this to a single dimmer switch? So controlling all 5 lights from one switch?

    Thanks in advance

    As long as the dimmer can handle max load should be fine. All one has to do is take L1 switched live outtov of the second dimmer and combine it with L1 in the first dimmer.
    If installing a new switch just combine the commons and the L1s.

    The com terminal will be live unless you isolate it first.
