2 light fittings 2 separate switches

[gibo]

Hi all new on here.
In our lounge we have 2 light fittings 3meters apart, on the wall by the door into the lounge there is a single switch which turns on/off both lights.
By the back door there is another switch which also turns on/off the same lights, what i'm wanting to know is can theses lights be turned on/off independently, and if so how?

Do you mean without pulling up floorboards/ making holes etc?

Can you send photos of the wiring at each switch and light, or at least describe what is there.

Also need to know if accessible above, if conduits in walls etc...

yes don't want to pull up floor boards etc, its a Housing association house built 2007.
will post some pictures tomorrow.

Thanks

Don't we just love harmonized colours, nigh on impossible to follow the wires from the pics in the main switch!
Judging by the rose wiring they are wired in parallel so it will involve new cables being installed.

I agree. Need a better lit pic of switch by door into lounge but you will need to pull up some floorboards to do what you want.
