Following my last post I decided to keep all my outdoor lighting on thier own separate circuit, so my next problem is how to switch them. My initial idea was to have a 3 gang switch and use 2 of the ways for internal and 1 way for the security light, but I was thinking if someone isolates the internal lighting to remove the switch the external part will be still live. Is this acceptable or do I need my own separate 1 gang switch for the outside lighting and a 2 gang switch next to it for the internal.
I didn't realise something this simple would give me such a headache!! Roll on a bit of experience.

Cheers
 
Having all 3 lights at the same switch is Ok. It no different to 2 way switching of up and downstairs really.

Do you have the neutral at the switch?
