dimmer switch help please

[paul777]

hello all
please can you help i have just installed my 3d triple dimmer switch within 6 weeks !
a bulb blew in the ceiling light which has 3 bulbs all of which are 60w then after the dimmer no longer worked
so took it back i had a replacement i have 2 wall lights 60w 2weeks ago one of the wall light no longer dim ?
had another replacement so on Monday i refitted new dimmer switch all working great
once again wall dimmer not working i have checked all the wiring all look good no lose cables
all these triple dimmer switches bought from B&Q make crabtree 3x250w 2way chrome
i`m not using the two way on back of dimmer switch 250 max on each switch
am i right in thinking 3 bulbs in ceiling 3x60w plus 2 wall light 2x60w total; 300w is this why there are going faulty
but each dimmer switch has 250w max so the 2 wall lights are 250w max per switch but i`m only using a 60w bulb
should i try another make ? if so what make ?
PS i`m using E14 bulbs halogen 54w also tried other bulbs still not dimming !
thank you Paul

Hi mate. some dimmers don't work well with certain lamps. I presume that the lamps are dimmable?
You have to find out what dimer switch works best with your lamps. You might have to Google it.
