before anyone says read the sticky, i have
not new to electrics so this is somewhat confusing me, basically have a new build extension with lots of spot lights everywhere, myself and a mate are doing the electrics (hes a qualified sparky, im on a course to become one)
anyway, all first fix done, coming to do some of the second fix (mates on holiday atm ) and the two way lighting is confusing me, i know how to do normal two way lighting with a switch wire. But, this wiring has been done with the live at the switch, maybe its because its gone 2am, and im trying to do this, but i cant work out how to
for arguments sake, back box one has, 2&E feed, 2&E to first spot, the 3&E to back box two, and this would be the only cable in the box
I know neutral from feed and spots go together, and would be live from feed in common, then live to spots in L1
Just not sure how i use the 3 core to get to the other switch, and for it to work
I will harass my mate when i have time tomorrow, but didn't think he'd appreciate a 2/3am call when hes on holiday XD
so if anyone can help it would be much appreciated
