Hi all, this is my first post so i really hope i get some help.

I have a 2 gang light switch and one of the switches is wired up to the ceiling light it is a 2 way light and has L1 L2 and com.

I was wanting to add an extra light by taking a live and neutral form the ceiling rose and wiring the new light through the 2nd gang in my switch.

Problem is i have 2 wires coming to the switch from the ceiling rose and 2 wires from the switch to my new light. How do i wire them into the switch? i have 4 wires and only L2 L1 and com.

I didnt put the wires in they were left ready to connect up when i had my room plastered!

thanks

Allison

connect the neutrals to each other with a piece of terminal block. Connect one live to COM and the other live to L1.
