Hi,
Would like a little advice on 2 way switches. Currently, my hallway and stairway share 2 lights controlled by 2 switches at either end of the hallway only. I would like to be able to switch the lights on from the bottom of the stairway as well because presently I have to go up and down the stairs in the dark which is unsafe. The existing lights are enough to light the stairs when on so there is no need to add additional lights. I am thinking of adding a third switch at the bottom of stairs to control these same lights. Using 3 core + earth cable, is it ok to connect another switch to the 2 way system already installed? and if so, is the wiring the same us it would be normally.
I welcome any comments,
Thanks
