I need to convert a landing light so that it can be switched from four locations (from the current two), so I'll need some intermediate switches. However, the new locations already have switches for other lights so that means that multi-gang switches will ideally be needed. I will definitely...

I'm trying to sort out some 3 way lighting in a newish build property.
The intermediate switch was broken which I replaced. The lights didn't work properly.
I noticed the common cable was linked to the neutrals in the box so I endeavoured to rewire everything as someone had obviously had a go...
Landing light is not fully switching off when operating the 3 switches on the landing/hallway.
A small voltage (less than 40v) is present between the switched live and neutral.
After trying a new lamp it worked fine.
Any ideas anyone??

I have been fault finding today.
The problem was fairly common. 3 switches (on different landings) switching one light, so 2 2way switches and an intermediate. The problem was that sometimes each of the switches worked and sometimes they didn't, so sometimes you have to go back upstairs and...

I could do with keeping the range of switches the same.. Screwless flat plate toggle switch but can't find a 2gang intermediate toggle.
An ebay seller (291055653971) has a diagram configured with 2way only but I cant see how!
Alternatively if anyone knows a range that has a 2g intermediate in...

I understand how 2 way and intermediate lighting works and how to wire it, I'm just struggling to get my head round why it doesn't matter which way round the strapped go from switch to switch. I.e L1 from one switch then into l2 and any other combination. Does anyone have any easy way of...
