3 Gang 2 Way 10 Amp light Switch
- Thread starter dj icea
- Start date
What do you have coming to the switch, a L,N & E feed? C is the common terminal. L1 is way 1 and L2 is way 2, there will be a C, L1 and L2 for each switch, the switch will be switching together C - L1 with the switch in one position and C - L2 with it in the other.
No, Com, L1 and L2 are all live terminals. L2 may not be needed for single way switching so needs to be left empty for now. Neutral and earth need to be connected into terminal block, an earth loop to the switch and back box if metal too. Live in goes to one common and loops to the other two commons. The three (switched) live wires to the lights can go into each of the L1 terminals.
Then what was the pic for?

dj icea, i am sorry to say but you do not appear to have the cometancy to grap the concept of how it should be done, as i would like to see you post on here again, i would suggest you call an electrician.
remember electricity has no prejudices, it kills anyone
