Hi again

I wonder if anyone would be so kind as to check out the circuit diagram below and let me know

a) if it acceptable to link the common terminals in the switch in this way ? and
b) If there is a better way of acheiving the same effect ? ie How would you do it ?

The security lights are to be fitted to the outside of my garage and I am opting to tap into the existing lighting circuit which consists of 2 x 36W Fluorescent fittings only. The existing wiring is fed from a 5A MCB in the garage CU. There is nothing else on the circuit

The switch is also going to be outside and I plan to utilise an IP rated double (2 way) switch that I already possess. (Hence the extra L2 in the diagram)


All thoughts appreciated
Regards

Edit - Spelling

only had a qucik look, looks ok on the understanding 1 switch operates 1 light the other operates 2 lights
 
Thanks for the quick reply breezer :)

Yes - that is the correct switching I was after -
The 2 PIR lamps operate from 1 switch and
the single non-PIR lamp operates from the other switch

Thanks for your help
