Hi
I have a ceiling light with conventional rose. I have installed a spot light and I want to switch this independantly from the ceiling light. I have intstalled some 3core+E wire to a new 2 gang switch. I have a live feed taken from the existing rose which I want to send back as 2 swiched lives. One going back to the existing rose for the ceiling light and the other to a new rose (in the loft above the ceiling rose). I have picked up a neutral for the new rose from the exisiting one. I then plan to run a +ve and -ve from the new rose to the spotlight. In the 2 gang switch I have 2 commons, 2 L1 and 2 L2. I have put the live feed to one of the commons and linked it with a short piece of wire to the other common i.e. both are now live and connected the 2 switched lives to the two L2's. It all works but the switch works upside down. Do I have to connect the L2's (or L1's) and use the commons for the switched returns. Does this makes sense?
TIA

(or use L1 's instead of L2's)
