Hello -

I have a bedroom light which is a dimmer switch. However, this light needs to be on for the light in the hall to be on. What did I do wrong when I installed the dimmer switch? What do I need to fix this?

When the bedroom light is dimmed the hallway light is dimmed to the same degree.

Any advice help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

The wire from the hall light should bypass the dimmer instead of going "through" it.
