You see what we... I mean I did with that.
Okay enough of that. Here is the situation: My office was dark. There I was. Forget about that part. But the lights were out.
Fast forward. The switch is broke. It is a no-screw LED dimmer switch. The switch is broke. There is power to the office. The switch toggles like overcooked Japanese noodles. It's out. We have a spare LED dimmer switch.
Great, right?
It has six wires. SIX F*$&%)&%$)#(*ING wires. Normal switches have two. Three if you count the neutral.
Okay I aint totally worthless. I went online. Wires. Red and black are the standard hot and neutral. Green is ground. Barber pole red and white isn't used. The other two are the 12V dimmer leads.
Question... And I think it is a stupid one, but I'll ask it anyway. Is the polarity of the two LV leads an issue? The wires they connect to are hella random. Actually all the wire colors in the building are hella random.
