2 way lighting from an fsu

[Kath]

Does anybody know if it's possible to:

Take power from an existing socket, use an FCU and then have 2 light bulbs operating on 2 1gang switches? And if so, how do you wire it?

 

[plugwash]

you use an unswitched FCU and then from the output of this wire just like any other lighting wiring

We've just managed to get that bit working, but both bulbs are only 1/2 strength, any ideas which bit we've wired wrongly?

 

[plugwash]

sounds like you wired the bulbs in series

 

[Kath]

er I don't know what that means

 

[plugwash]

can you give us a diagram of exactly what you wired where?

 

[Kath]

I've copied it down on paper, I'll try and draw it ASAP

 

[Kath]

right, I've drawn it in powepoint, but I've no idea how to get it in here

 

[plugwash]

just stick it on the web somewhere and post a link

Thanks for all your help, we'eve now got it working
