I've got two sets of can lights independently controlled by separate dimmers. They are on different circuits. They were installed by a professional electrician. We are just switching out the color of the dimmers so I thought it would just be a straight up replacement. Well the wires got somehow crossed and I lost my reference point. Here's what is in the box:
1 B/W/G that is the supply
2 B/W/G going to the cans
Two of the wires are new looking from when they installed the cans and so I thought the old wire would have been the supply. But it turns out that one of the newer wires is the supply. I tried nutting all the whites together and pig tailing the blacks but that's when they were a separate circuit cause it just tripped the breaker.
I've tried many configurations and currently I have the switches so that one works, but the other only works if the first one is on. Seems like I'm close.
Any help?
thanks!
oh yeah, it's not a 3 way and there is no red wiring. I can easily take a picture and upload if that will help.
