    You have explained exellently. Dont worry about the dislikers because they hav some kind of their own problems. Ask them about showing their own videos and we will all know how much better they are.
    Thanks once again.

    Fixed my problem with your help. Thank you very much. The previous person had mixed up the common wire with the rose wire. Simple fix when you know how.

    Hello. What if you want to add two more lights to this arrangement, but you don't have access to the ceiling rose. I currently have this setup for my bedroom light with 2 double gang two way switches either side of the headboard. I want the second gang in each switch to control a reading light on each side of the headboard, but problem is what do I do with the neutral wire. I can't run a new 3 core and earth wire to the original ceiling rose. Hope this description makes sense.

  • @trevorcole460
    @trevorcole460 6 років тому

    I have a two gang light switch with 5 wires, 3 Red/ 1 Yellow and 1 Blue.
    The switch is meant to control the sitting room and the hall way, but is only controlling the sitting room at present.
    I have noticed that only 2 Red wires are live and 1 Blue, is this normal ❓
    Does anyone know how I can sort this out myself❓
    Also since this problem started the garage lights do not work, in have changed the build, checked the light fitting and reinstalled an new light switch, so I guess it is down to the loop wiring and the two gang switch must have stopped the circuit.
    Any help would be appreciated, and thanks for the video upload.

    • @how2d223
      @how2d223  6 років тому

      Main line or live is to connected to the switch from ceiling rose . Or there is only line (live) wire at the switches Neutral only at the ceiling rose not at the switch. only permanent live is going from the loop in a ceiling rose to the switch and returns as a switch live to ceiling rose to the terminal where brown wire from bulb is connected. If you have a neutral conductor at the switch then all is wired at the switch not at the ceiling rose. Hope it helps
