HI, i've had a good look through the lighting and switch diagrams in wiki etc and forum but I would just like to check something with you guys in the know.
I am adding an external light (bulkhead) just outside kitchen door.
At the side of the door is currently a 2 gang switch, one switch for pantry, one for kitchen.
I have now changed this for a 3 gang so the third switch can be used for the bulkhead outside, but no neutral at the switch so once I get one there would I simply put it on L1 of the bulkhead switch together with the neutral cable from the bulkhead ?
The other switches are as they were- 2 COM, 2 L1 and I have taken a link cable from one of the COM to the new switch and put the live cable from the bulkhead on the same contact.
Sorry if that sounds a bit confusing, I'll upload a diagram if necessary.
Thanks Jon
