Hi I'm new here and an apprentice at the moment so forgive me if I've posted in the wrong place ! Sorry.
I have just been doing wiring bays at college reference one way lighting, 2 way, 2 way intermediate etc and all with feeds and Neutrals looped through the switch boxes at the wall. I have also looked at older junction box wiring a little but am not that clear on all that stuff as I've found a couple of really messy un-identified cable ones in a loft recently.
What I wanted to ask is if you can legally and safely have say a centre light in a bedroom for example fed one way via one switch of a 2 gang plate and also have that same light fitting switched from another gang on same plate which also switches on 2 bedside downlights 2 way. So all 3 lights come on together, but centre light can also be switched on alone ? and then to make things more complicated the bedside lights can be switched on and off with switches for each one next to bed side also and work 2 way !! At college we are only wiring one switch wire to each light and looping the switched line across to a 2nd light if say 2 are to come on together etc... Never seen anything like 2 ways of switched feeds to light fittings like this and cables everywhere... Please help...
