Dimmer Switch ?

Want to fit a Dimmer in my hall, 3 seperate light switches are already in the hall which all switch on the ceiling lights from diff. areas, only one switch is a single so Dimmer is to replace this one. Problem is it has 4 seperate connections & 4 wires going in, L1 L2 at the top & L3 L4 in the bottom, all wires are the same colour!! Dimmer has only L1 L2 & C......how do i wire this?
Many thanks Ian

you can do this,no prob,just put wire for wire into the dimmer.i.e.l1 to l1.l2 to l2,com to com,on each dimmer,rember to turn power off first

Should i buy a double Dimmer switch & replace one of the double light sockets....would this work ok?
Thanks

this is an intermediate switch,you cant fit a dimmer on these,this type of switch is used norm on a middle landing location to turn the lights off,or on
