Hi all,
What options do I have when connecting the common cable in a 2 way + Intermediate light circuit. (Side question - what would this circuit be called in industry?)
I'm using 3 core and earth.
If I'm not wrong, the black common cable would be connected together (and not in a terminal...
Ok so, im following on 2nd fixing from someone else who has first fixed a loft conversation. He's no longer with us.
At the top of the stairs I have an intermediate SW to go in consisting of 2 X 3 cores (intermediate SW with one 3 core going down stairs and another one down the hall) 2 X...
I have purchased a number of expensive copper dowsing&reynolds light switches which have been fitted by an electrician as part of a refurb project.
I am not proposing to do this myself, but as previous advice on the forum has been very useful, so would like to know if this is possible before...
The house renovation is almost done but some of the original 1980's switched have remained and I wanted to swap them out for the MK ones in the new parts of the house. Simple job eh?
So I bought some 2 way switches for the hall (4 switches control the same set of lights); for the snug (2...

Hi all,
New to the forum. Been around a little while viewing and can usually find the answers I need, but not on this occasion.
Currently have an intermediate switch on the top of the landing and after decorating have purchased a new switch, though the terminals are labelled different.

Probably a stupid question but need to get it straight in my head. Am I right in thinking that with a strapper line of two way and intermediate switches you can’t take the line in and the switch line out to the the light at one of the intermediate switches?
First and foremost I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Faysal and I reside in East London. By profession I am a Operation Manager within the NHS but have a patient to do home electrical DIY project. I picked up basic electrical skills from a young age, tagging along my uncle who was a...
Hi, I'm new here, and really hope for advice... Could anyone kindly put me in right direction. How do I go about connecting the second switch on landing, or what have I done wrong so far (attached image)? Whatever is connected now works a treat.
Thanks for your time :)
Need a bit of help please. Wired a 2 way from upstairs to downstairs then customer wanted a 2 way to side of the bed, obviously didn't think it through enough! At the minute i've got mains and switch wire at top of stairs for downlighters and a three core going downstairs and one going to the...

So.. we've dropped a clanger.
3 way switching for large Hallway.
Switch wire drops to 1 gang switch(2way), then 3-core to 4-gang switch, then 3-core to 1-gang(2way). This means our 2nd switch isn't an intermediate - but a 2-way.
(Not aware of anyone who makes a 4-gang switch with an...

Hi all,
I have just moved into a house and changed a socket to a new one with USB slots so now I'm quite proud of myself. There is a light switch (2 gang 2 way - I think) one Light switch controls upstairs hall and the other switch controls downstairs hall - upstairs and downstairs are both...

Hi,
