I have a two gang two way switch at the top of my landing. One switch controls the hall light (with another downstairs switch at the bottom of the stairs that also does the same). The other switch just turns the loft light of and on. What I want to do is make this loft connection permanently live and put a switch further downstream of the wire in the loft instead. Then replace the two way two gang switch with a one gang two way switch to keep the upstairs downstairs function of the landing light. I cant seem to work out which wires go to the loft light. How can I bypass the switch to the loft so making the feed wire up to the loft light permanent and therefore allowing me to install a switch in the loft instead and also not disturbing the function of the reamaining two way landing light switch. I want to do this because my kids keep forgetting which switch is which and I often go up into the loft to find the light has been on for some time/days/weeks!!!!
I also want to split the newly permanent feed wire up in the loft, via a junction box, so as one branch goes to the loft light (with a new one way switch installed near the loft hatch) and another provides power (via a socket I will install) to plug in a 13 amp masthead aerial amplifier.
This way I can switch on and off the light directly in the loft and the power to the amplifier is on permanerntly. Also as the landing switch will be a one gang two way switch the kids can only swithc that light on and not the loft light any more.
Any help would be appreciated greatly
