2 way lighting

[redrunner]

i have just wired a garage with 2 way lighting , i have brown linking the common terminal,s/ yellow to the L1, terminals/ and blue to the L2, terminals/. then on no 1 switch i have a brown from term 1L / and a blue from terminal 2L going to the terminal block above the light fitting./ then there is also the red + and black _. feed at that point ./ but im not sure which 2 i join together and which 2 i take into the respective terminals in the frourescent light fitting ./ [ i have not included earths as i know where these do go ./ help please/ . regards, r.r.

The red and black will be your feed and the brown and blue will be your switch feed and return.
Connect the black to the N terminal of the fitting and the blue (sleeved brown) to the L terminal.
Connect the brown to the red in a terminal block and it should work ok.

thanks qedelec, i can now go finish the job off/ [ son in laws new garage ]. . i did the wiring upgrade in his old garage , also his dads. And for some reason i allways loose the plot at the light fitting . thought i was going to have to go look at his dads to see how i did that ? . still thats the difference between a sparkie /. and a short out like me . YOUknow . i think i do./ .cheers r,r.

Your welcome red.
Lighting seems to throw most DIYers a curve ball.
I have a 2nd fix and signoff to do in your neck of the woods on Saturday.
