Hi Breezer, Did you manage to come up with anything? I tried various combinations of the diagrams b,c and d but all with the same results...

drawings B, C and D were as supplied with the timer, my scanner is knackered so I drew them instead, I also included my current wiring (Fig.E) and my best guess at how it should all be wired together (Fig F) for clarity. The timer is designed to replace a 1-way or a 2-way switch. The...

Erm, sorry about that...the house has dimmers on just about every light, the previous owners went a bit mad with them...So I didn't really think about it being a special case, until the lights started blinking that is... Anyway, the only other thing I haven't mentioned is that the light...

Here's a link to some diagrams I've knocked up... Fig. A shows the diagram printed on the back of the timer around the 3 terminals, I think it is suggesting that the Neutral is "back fed" from the lamp (??). Figs B, C & D are the ones supplied with the switch showing possible connections...

Thanks for the reply, you've cleared up some of my confusion.... I'm not actually replacing a switch I'm looking to add a second one onto one of the lights of the current 2-gang. The new switch is a Security Timer (SuperSwitch) which seems to be wired slightly differently, in that it...

I'm trying to work out the current wiring on a 2-gang switch. The switch is 2-gang and 2-way but is wired as 1-way on both switches. The are 3 x 2 core and earth cables connected to the switch. The black wires of all three are connected to each other but nothing else, the same with the earth...
