All up and running as original spec ie two lights working from three switches. Thank you all :)

I'm back and hoping this thread is still "open". She's changed her mind so I'm working on the original plan. Two lights working off three switches. Before I start work I just want to check I've got it straight. I need to use twin & earth to take switched live, neutral and earth to the new...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: Ok, I'm going change the switch drop to 3C+E and leave well alone until the bathroom is done. Thanks for everything.

Nice one, I'll do that (although that's a job for next week, used up enough of my leave days already) :wink: In the set up I have now : If I connect the switched live of the new rose to the switched live of the original both lights will be controlled by the two new switches and the old...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Not made good yet and it is a good idea. So I've got my head round it properly : I change the 2C+E drop cable for a 3C+E. Or put in a 3C+E drop as well ?

True and not the first time it's confused things :mrgreen: :mrgreen: The vertical channel below and to the left of the switches was a stair post that was removed so that's safe. The "thanks" button was well and truly pushed. To check : the switch drop is the cable from the rose to the...

And the news from the front is that the job is finished. I have two lights in the hall and three switches. One light operated by one switch is by the front door and one light operated by two switches further down the hallway. Couldn't be ar**d to wire up all three switches to both lights...

:D Decided to go with the rose to rose method and so far so good. Wired everything up before placing it and it works as it should. Decided to go with new switches operating the new light only. Too much graft and once the new light is in the old one will be pretty much redundant...

[/url] That's right, one rose in the hall, not shown in pic but directly above my head, controlled by one switch of the three gang on the right of the pic. New positions of rose etc are marked in white. Disruption to decor is not a problem but time is against me.

Thanks for the quick replies fellas, glad to know it's do-able Photo's of the rose from below and above : Reading the wiki now and always welcome advice/encouragement.

Hello All, Read and re-read all I can on here about adding ceiling roses and need advice. Already have one ceiling rose at one end of hallway and I want to add another ceiling rose plus two more switches. In effect two lights controlled by three switches if possible. Or new rose controlled...
