2 Way Switch Configuration

[leevis]

Hi All
Been looking at my wiring and have 2 switches in a room, one by each door which I want to be able to turn the lights on and off from at each switch depending on where the room is accessed.

I want to understand how to wire these as I have a number of cables.
At one switch I have
A supply of 2.5mm twin core and earth which comes from the consumer unit
A 2.5mm twin core and earth which goes up to the lights
A 2.5mm three core and earth which goes to the other switch

At the other switch I have
A 2.5mm three core and earth which goes to the other switch

I'm as to what goes into each connection point on each switch

On the second switch it is quite easy as there is one for each connector (plus the earth)

On the first switch though, are all of the lives connected together and put in the one connector, I'm guessing a Wago will have to be used?

2.5mm² on a lighting circuit? Are you sure, that would be most unusual and very tricky to terminate in most lighting switches and fittings.

1.5mm

Here’s how to do it. (I’m hoping your cable is 1mm²!)

1.5mm

You’ll be ok with that. 1mm² is easier to deal with.
