MAKE SURE FUSE IS REMOVED OR CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPPED! This is quite simple. Unscrew and remove the template. Unscrew and PULL OUT the switch. As long as this NOT a 3-way switch, Unscrew, UNCURL, and remove wire wrapped around BOTH screws, then unscrew, uncurl and remove grounding screw (bare wire) and remove old light switch. Fully unscrew bolts on new switch until they stop. Strip both covered wires to reveal 1" of bare wire. Bend bare wires (all) to look like a hook. With completely bare grounding wire, wrap hooked end around the green screw with the wire end sticking out on the lower right side. Do this with the rest of the wires. Fully tighten all screws. Push excess wires back into outlet and firmly secure switch to outlet. Replace and secure template. Replace fuse/flip circuit breaker back on. Try switch. Light should respond WITHOUT FLICKERING. If light flickers, turn off power and check for loose connections on the switch. Resume power AFTER problem is solved. <><><>
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Can a single pole switch can be use as a dimmer?
No a switch just opens and closes a circuit. A switch can be replaced by a dimmer switch. The dimmer switch will fit in the same enclosure that the switch is removed from.

How to fit a dimmer switch which has an sw connection a l and an arrow with a wave line through it which do you connect these to if in your house you have a red wire black wire and earth?
For countries in Europe and other world areas running a 50 Hz supply service.The answer to your question is rather straightforward. The "Sw" connection is used for a "two-way switch" configuration. If you don't have another switch controlling the same light (as is usual on a staircase) then don't use this connection on the dimmer switch.The "arrow with a wave" is the "Switched Live" connection. This provides live power service to your light fitting.Since the dimmer switch doesn't require a connection to the "neutral" wire - nowadays a wire covered in blue-coloured pvc insulation - or, in old wiring, with black insulation - you must ensure that the circuit is completed by connecting the neutral wire from the incoming service to the neutral wire from your light fitting - nowadays a wire covered in blue-coloured pvc insulation - or, in old wiring, with black insulation . Ensure this is done correctly and safely using an insulated connector block.BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO DO THIS WORK, ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE LIGHTING CIRCUIT AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER BOX OR, ON OLDER WIRING SYSTEMS, THE MAIN FUSE BOX!1. For a 1-way installation: connect the live service wire - nowadays a brown insulated wire - or, in old wiring, a red wire - to the "L" (common) connection on the dimmer switch and the brown (or red) wire from the light fitting to the dimmer's "arrow with a wave" connection.2. Ensure that the neutral connection (as described above) is correctly made.3. Always connect the earth wire - nowadays a green/yellow wire - or just plain green in old wiring - to the brass earth terminal in the wall box, if there is one (but there may not be one in an old wiring system) and always be sure to connect any green/yellow (or plain green in old wiring) earth wire coming from the light fitting either into that earth terminal in the wall box or use a separate insulated connector block. Often the dimmer switch itself does not have any connection for an earth wire but, if it does, an insulated green/yellow earth wire should go to that as well.It's as simple as that! Happy DIY'ing........WarningBecause you needed to ask this question here, you do not have quite enough knowledge to be safe. Be aware that you are working with voltages that could injure or kill you if you don't know how to do this job safely!Trying to answer this question without personally seeing what you are trying to describe is a recipe for disaster.

How do you hook up one light to one switch in a basement lighting system that has all 10 lights connected to one switch?
If you have good access to the wiring this is relatively easy to do. Each of the 10 lights is connected to another in parallel in a "daisy chain" fashion. Light 1 is connected to the switch, light 2 is connected to light 1, light 3 is connected to light 2 and so forth. Let's say it is light 5 that you wish to switch separately. You can first install the new switch by either adding a new box or modifying old switch box. There are two gang switches that will fit the form factor of a single switch. TURN OFF THE POWER TO SWITCH BOX. Using the same supply input at original switch, add a new black wire to the wire nut for input to original switch and connect this to the input of new switch. Then run a new wire to light 5 and connect black wire to the output of new switch. Connect all the white wires together in switch box and separately connect all bare wires together in switch box. Now at light 5 undo the black and white wire coming from the fixture, and reconnect the wire nuts so that there is a direct connection between light 4 and light 6. Do the same for the ground if present (bare wire). You now have the fixture wires hanging free. Now connect the black wire from new switch to the fixture black wire and white to white and you are done.
