Discuss lighting circuit required urgently in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

I am a electrical panel engineer so me doing the work is not an issue all want is a simple diagram of how to run the wiring, and I want to be able to turn the lights on and of fro the bedside, as my brother is now bed ridden following drunk driver hitting him, leaving him unable to ever walk. This way he can control the room lighting. So "it is nothing kinky" as some has said?

Glynn, firstly sorry to hear about your brothers situation, life can be a cruel place. Regarding the wiring of the circuit Tazz as already posted the diagram you need to carry out the job in post 2.
If after reading the diagram you are still unsure of how to do it then I would seriously consider getting a local electrician in to do it for you,you could even help him with the labouring side of the job to keep the cost down. It is better to be safe than sorry mate.
 
Looks to me as if there is no door between the bedroom and the shower room area. Lucy can’t be very hygienic...lol.
 
I wonder if the OP has considered the IP rating of the switch between the bedroom and bathroom. It's going to need to be suitable for the external influences of the situation, namely all those oily fingers.

Tazz has given you a drawing fella, just follow that, sorry to hear about your brother.

Hi Glynn the oil or infact the 710 dimension at each side of the bed is where the "kinky" comes from 710 upside down as in the drawing is OIL.
My son had a similar accident and was in intensive care over 12 week followed by another 6 month in hospital he is lucky as regained some use of his legs and now can walk short distances so have an idea what you are going through and wish you all well.

here is a clear diagram showing 3 way switching hope it helps
