hi, is it possible to refit a dimmer switch to my existing on/off switch light in my living room? I will also be fitting a dimmable G9 LED (5x) like [url= https://www.easy-lightbulbs.com/light-bulbs/led-lighting/led-g9-bulbs/2-loops/l2.5g9-83d-ca/?gclid=CjwKEAiAoIK1BRCRiMqphvnlwlwSJAAOebPMf5Trv5FRjbGLDAHZ-IA6zg85_YLNUu2SbXHkcklQjBoCL6fw_wcB ]this[/url]

Do you mean replace the current 2 gang switch with a dimmer? If that's the question then yes.
As for dimmable G9's I'm not convinced they'll work, I've not been able to find any from a reputable shop.
I have some dimmable GU9s and they don't really work - they are wired up in a new kitchen refit where the majority of lights are GU10s and they dim nicely (all lights running from the same 3-way dimmable swich so it isn't the switch at fault). The GU9s are more of an on / half-way / off. It doesn't bother me greatly but they certainly don't dim as I would have expected.
aha, so the wiring for standard on/off 2 gang switch is same as dimmer switch. cheers
the link for G9 LED bulbs it says dimmable, so it should work? i think I would be better buying this in B&Q and ask, im sure they have.
The ones I bought said they were dimmable but they don't dim very well

B&Q don't have dimmable G9 LED's. But yes they should work, in theory. Does look like a decent firm though so give it a go.
