I believe you are the only one who thinks that.I thought that my diagrams were very explanatory in fact!
The fact that it's a shoe cupboard is irrelevant. But if you'd explained at the start that you needed its light to only be switchable if the light in the outer cupboard was on then you would have got an answer much quicker.I didn't for a minute think that you would be at all interested in my shoe cupboard and so, I didn't think that the detail or reasons for the setup were so important to you.
You don't get it. Why would anybody ask if that was what you wanted?perhaps if you'd taken the time to ask I would have told you,
Actually what I said was "Electrical installations by trial and error/guesswork is a stupid idea".but you were too busy calling me stupid
Yes.and ignorant.
Surely asking that means you don't know?can anyone tell me what's wrong with the wiring setup please?
Surely saying that means that you realise you don't know what you are doing?thought I'd better ask people who knew what they were doing
And if you knew basic stuff like that the 2nd light needed a neutral and that to get the switches doing what you want you just needed them in series then you wouldn't have needed any help.Catch 22. If it was a standard setup, I wouldn't have needed any help!
I directed you at information which would help you to learn.I thought you were supposed to help people,
I stand for people genuinely understanding things before starting to fiddle with them.leaves me wondering what you stand for!
May I add that it maybe easier to run three core and earth to the switch from the light one, to bring in permanent live(brown core) Switched Live (Black core to be sleeved brown) and neutral (grey core to be sleeved blue) plus earth.
The blue neutral between light one and two can then be omitted.
So your neutral conductor would be looped in at the switch via grey core from neutral terminal of light one, so at light one at the neutral terminal you will have blue from junction box and grey from switch.
At the switch the grey core can then be put in connection block, with a twin and earth then taken from switch to light one. The blue core of the twin and earth then connected to grey in block (with nothing else). So then to light two with brown core from common on gang two of switch to live of fitting and the blue to neutral of fitting, plus the earth.
Hope that does not complicate things, but would help regarding using two and three cores, rather than using singles.
