Yep, got it all sorted now, thanks all. Didn't take me long to realise my error! Doh! All now working as it should. I think where I went wrong is - the wiring layout was simple, I went and made it complicated! PS. RFLighting, no I haven't added the additional lighting and wiring yet.

Depends what you call a loft conversion... Anyway here's a basic image of what I am doing: So the ones labelled 0 are lights downstairs unaffected by this job. Switches 1 (already in place) and 2 are both 2 way switches that control the landing light. Switches 3 and 4 are meant to operate...

Ah, I see what I've done now :P It's routed down a wall cavity from the loft to the landing switch alongside another cable. It would be RCD protected via the main fuse box which has separate fuses for upstairs lighting and downstairs lighting.

So what am I missing? Do I need supply to both switches?? I was hoping not. As I understand, the supply would come from the existing wiring in the loft down the link cable to the switch on the landing. Am I missing something in the loft switch that makes it 2 way??

Yep, as Iggifer has said. The added switches and wiring are purely for 2 way control of loft light. Anyway.... It almost works as it should, but I seem to have a new problem. While both switches will turn the light on, if either switch is on, the other wont turn it off..... :(

Hi all - new here :) I have a question about adding a 2 way switch to some existing wiring that goes from my landing to my loft. This is where I started: On the landing - 1 gang, 2 way switch that controls the landing light. The other switch for this is at the bottom of the stairs...
