Wiring a Red Series Dimmer Switch with Power from Light for 3-way

Your initial post states the power comes from the light and there is no neutral wire at either switch. Yet the 2 diagrams you are attempting to follow are both for neutral wiring.

As mentioned above, with no neutral you’ll need the AUX switch (will not work with a dumb switch) and you’ll need to use the diagram for 3 way wiring with no neutral.
