RE: Installing a dimmer switch
Be aware dimmer switches come in different ratings usually in watts. Make sure the load is less than or equal the dimmers rating. typicaly 240 watts. Just add up all the lights on the dimmer circuit. e.g a 9 lamp fitting say, with 40 watts per lamp would require a 360 watt dimmer at least.
Dimmers do not necessarily need to be earthed, but if an earth point exists always use it. All modern houses are, and it should be done if possible. If not make sure you put a good consumer unit in with earth leakage detection.Cheaper that setting fire to you house.
