2 way switched lampholder

[Iggifer]

wiring in the 5a socket to the lighting circuit with T+E & 3C+E

Wouldn't that only work if it were a 'two-way socket'

Strange thread. Apart from the remote switching I think the answer is NO.

lol yea I only picked up on the 3C+E as that was what the OP has - no idea why I did that.

My original (and somewhat off topic method) was T+E from rose to switch, and T+E taking switched live to the 5a socket.

I have some super complicated ideas involve 3C+E but I doubt they're ideal or infact compliant, so I will just quit whilst im behind on this one

Then you bring

(1) N,

(2) E and

(3) & (4) the two strappers

to the switch on the lamp either hardwired though a flex outlet plate or plugged in through something like a kilk connector that can support two live connections.

That would work, with 4-core flex, but the light would end up permanently cabled into the wall, unless you can find a suitable 4-pin plug & socket.

One of those Klick connectors would look a bit naff on the wall.

Less naff, but less compliant (for good reasons):

If it were a Class II light, are there any 3P connectors which do not have a designated pin for earth, e.g. those Neutrik ones?

Would still need 4-core flex, but if there was a connector which could legitimately be used for 2 x L & N.....

OK, so that's solved.

Do we need to look for an inline 2-way switch now?

Don't know about you but this is a fools thread.

As Peter Jones says "I'm out"

2-way architrave switch in a pattress?

Quality.....not

The klik range do a 4 pin plug/socket the plug is red but the cover is white, its desighned for two lives out really but have seen them used as live out and switch return before, but in your case youd be using the neutral terminal for a live as well, could confuse someone maintaining the system in future though, but would work, personally if the lamp dont need moving then flex out from a standard 3 plate ceiling rose

UMM, you use the "old method" of two way wiring.

This was just for the remote switch/footswitch only, hence no mention of neutral
The lamp i assumed was being plugged into a 5amp socket behind the sofa.
