Combining Shed Light & Outdoor LEDs to 2G 2way Switch

[Umy786]

Hi guys

I'm trying to wire 2 external LEDs along with the tube light inside the shed to a 2 gang 2 way switch.

I've combined the 2 wires from the LED into a junction box so that there is only one wire going into the switch.

However despite numerous attempts to wire them up , I can't get them work properly

I've attached pics below to help see what I'm trying to do.

Really appreciate any help and advice you guys have.

When I tried wiring up like this, the LED constantly stayed on & the tube light wouldn't come on

I cannot see how the LEDs are on. You have Line and Neutral connected to the switch
Edit - hadn't seen second picture.

Assuming the cables are as you say, this is all you should have.

Where is the backbox for the switch?

Brilliant. That worked!

The only thing that puzzling me now is that the the lights come on in the 'Off' position & are off in the 'On' position. I know I could just turn it round but there's a small light at the top which is now at the bottom. I'm sure it's supposed to be at the top because it shows it like that on box & I have a 1G switch the other side of the garden which is functioning correctly.

Any ideas?? Thanks again

Swap the wire in 1way to 2way.


What about the back box?

Didn't want to for backbox until it was all wired in correctly as I had a shortage of space & didn't want it getting in the way.

But I'm pleased to say it's All done

You guys are brilliant. Thanks so much.
