    Hi, Can someone help a newbie. I have bought a house which has 6 x L5508 dimmer rails and all work OK except one channel on one rail. The rail has 3 spare Channels, but one channel #7 is permanently ON (It controls a single light). The remote switch has no effect and when I try to reprogramme using the Learn Mode on the rail, it has no effect. The power stays ON the light throughout the Learn sequence. Can anyone advise what is wrong and why the power is permanently On for this channel? How do I remove the power from this channel. Can I use a spare channel or will it require a rail replacement?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Maybe the channel has programming from some other source to keep it on.
    Does it go off & on when you push the button on the front of the dimmer?
    If so then it is most likely working, if not maybe it has had a short, in which case you can usually swap the load to another channel and reprogram to suit.

    Naturally you would only attempt this wiring if you are appropriately licenced to do so.:cool:

    Dimmer problem solved

    Hi Matthew. Thanks for input. The problem has now been resolved by using an available spare channel on the dimmer.
