Hi,
I have 2 x 1g-2way light switches in the kitchen.
These control 5 spots on the ceiling which are split into two circuits of 2 spots and 3 spots.
Here are the outputs possible for the switch positions :
1. When both switches ( SW1 & SW2 ) are off all the spots are off.
2. When the kitchen door switch ( SW1 ) is on and the back door switch ( SW2 ) is off all 5 spots are on.
3. When the kitchen door switch ( SW1 ) is on and the back door switch ( SW2 ) is on 2 of the 5 spots remain lit only.
4. When the kitchen door switch ( SW1 ) is off and the back door switch ( SW2 ) is on the other 3 of the 5 spots remain lit only.
They are definitely 1g-2way switches as I have opened them up.
( Thanks to mikeyd and riveralt for pointing out correct switch naming )
Into Switch 1 there are 4 twin and earth. Switch 1 has two red wires into common, two red wires into L1, only one black wire into L2. Three black wires are joined together in a block connector in the knock out box.
Into Switch 2 there are at least two twin and earth. Switch 2 has red into common, red into L1 and black into L2. Two red wires ( which look to have common designation as they have the old thick red sheath over them ) and a black wire are connected with a block connector inside the knock out box.
Does anyone have the wiring diagram that describes the above.
I want to change this to a straight forward on/off 2 x 1g-2way switch lighting arrangement where all 5 spots are either on or off and this can be achieved with either switch.
Can anyone advise how I can do this with the existing wiring.
Thank you
