Fluorescent Ligting

[hutch6447]

Hi, touching fluorescent for the first time and just want some confirmation on the wiring to get two way lighting now the problem is coming as there is only Line, Neutral, Earth on the fitting so where does your switch lead come in to play, pretty happy with the wiring to get the next switch in just the wiring from the garage consumer board to the light to the first switch. Many Thanks

Well the Line on the fitting is the switched live same as all fittings.

whats at the fitting doesnt matter in this case - are you really sure you should be doing this, why not get a skilled spark in ?

hutch have you been taught how to switch feed the circuit?

 

[hutch6447]

Yeah been taught that for loop in wiring.

Yeah been taught that for loop in wiring.

loop in loop out is different to switch fed systems. If its already wired in loop in loop out, use a connector block on the permanent lives like the middle of a pendant then use the switched live into the L on the fitting

If there's only L, N and CPC at the fitting it's the last one on a looped row. Two way switching goes from switch to switch, it has nothing to do with the cabling arrangement at the light.
If you're struggling to wire this you should stop what you're doing

Yeap everything fine just couldnt remember from my NVQ 3 days just had deep thought time and i remembered the 2 way switching of switch feed. I now have nice two way lighting thanks guys.

sometimes it's best to take a breath and sketch it out when you've not used something for a while.
