Switch

[DaveGreen]

Thanks for the sticky diagrams.

They are much help however im not using a loop in method at the minute im installing another switch in my long kitchen as they are 2 door ways and only a switch at one end

In the existing switch the feed was brought in 2 the switch and there is just an outgoing switch line on L1 and neutral/earth to the 8 downlights with the permanent live in the common.

Ive dropped a 3 core cable in 2 the switch and brought it over to my other switch so do I now just link the 2 commons again and the L1 and L2

thanks Guys
