2 gang socket
Reply with quote Thanks

I have a 2 gang socket - one light for my front room, one light for outside.

The light for inside works fine. The light for outside is the wrong way. So if I turn it on, the light goes off and vice verca.

The two feeds are seperate - the problem switch has rd to L1 and black to L2.

Does anyone know how I can sort my problem. Many thanks

Does it have anything to the common terminal??

If it is two way, it will work "the wrong way round".
