I'm in the process of having my house rewired, and one comment by my electrician has had me puzzled..
On asking for double gang, 2 way switches at the top and bottom of the stairs to switch lights at both ends (i.e. a pair of switches downstairs for upstairs hall and downstairs hall lights, and another identical pair upstairs doing the same), it was stated that 'nobody ever does that' and a single switch upstairs will be fine, to switch off the downstairs hall lights.
Am I asking for something odd? Is it just a Welsh thing? My old house was wired that way (not by me) cleverly with the switches sideways so you instantly new the top switch was for upstairs..
Overall I'm quite happy with the quality of work and attitude of my electrician, though I'm a little puzzled by his comments earler..
Thoughts and opinions please?
