I have double/dual/2gang 2way switch to control two lights.
The scenerio
Room has two doors one light is 4ft fluorescent and other right is installed just outside the door as security light it is oval bulkhead light.
No matter which door i enter i want to turn/off the 2 lights independently of each other.
Materials in use
(2 )pattress single boxes
(2) double gang 2 way switches
1.5mm.sqr 3core cable (2core+green/yellow striped earth).
I am newbie electrician i have wired 1 gang two way switches before successfully but never encountered 2gang 2way switches and couldnt find in the net!!
Can you help me how to wire 2gang 2way switch?

Thanks
 
Hi - great Forum name :) .
Don't know if I've understood correctly, but it sounds like you are wanting 2 independent lights that can be independently switched from 2 locations. If so, do your normal 2 way light wiring twice? Drawing it out on paper will help :) .
 
what he said^^^.do 1 first then do the other.
 
Thanks for your reply
This is the drawing note that since the two fluorescent are looped. Together they are counted as one.i am doing electrical re wiring now


There is already 2gang 1way switch installed at one door what i desperately need is if it possible to use (two) double gang 2way switches one each door to control the inside lights as well as the outside lights independently.if i am at door A i want to turn the the lights on/off and do the same if i enter through door B.i have strong intuition it is possible but alas i have
Never encountered wiring dual gang 2way switches.

The green/yellow conductor should not be used as a live conductor.
 
The photographs demonstrate a complete lack of knowledge of wiring that does not accord with an electrician's work.
I am not prepared to advise on the means of wiring or the correct methods to use but the below diagram shows one of many possible means of easily wiring two gang two way switches.
This is a schematic only such as you would find on line.
I would recommend that you get competent local assistance to advise you on basic wiring techniques to prevent the risk of a dangerous situation occurring.
