Sorry for bringing another 2 gang switch Q to the forum, but i have searched about and checked out the superb diagrams and nothing seems to answer my problem. I think it will be something very simple for the knowledgeable amongst you.
Fitted an outside light and ran the wiring into kitchen.
I am trying to replace the single light switch in the kitchen for a 2 gang and wire in the outside light.
I have brown and blue from the kitchen light and brown and blue from the outside light, these 4 wires are driving me insane though.
I wired in a common live which is the L1 terminals on the switch I have and then put the blue to L2 on each switch, Kitchen light worked outside nothing.
I then ran another blue wire across both L2 terminals and now the following happens.
The right hand switch as you look at it switches on the kitchen light as requested ..........
When the left hand switch is flicked on tthe right hand switch now turns on the outside light !!
So I essentially have an on/off switch and a changeover switch, not quite what I set out to do.
Again i apologise if this has been answered somewhere but i really couldnt find anything.
Help will be much appreciated ........ Thanks
