A neighbour, who rents her residence, has in her main room a double-dimmer light switch unit controlling the two ceiling light fittings. Now, one dim mer has failed mechanically; and the dimmers need traditional bulbs. Clear ly the unit should be replaced with one containing a pair of ordinary switc hes such as may readily be obtained locally (and the bulbs with CFL or LED ones).
Clearly the switches are the landlord's responsibility. But there is reaso n not to trouble him with small matters, since there is likely to be a big matter pending.
I can wire up switches, but have no relevant paper qualifications; another neighbour is said to be some sort of electrician; the landlord might do it, or employ a contractor.
What do the Law and the Regulations say?
