Hi to all
I have a slight problem and wanted advice before I go ahead.

I have installed two sets of downlighters in the kitchen, and the plan is to wire a logic plus architrave double 2 way switch, so that I can control them at one place, I do not have a suitable junction box, so I was going to wire up both sets to each switch, then wire two sets of spurs coming from each switch, going into an extention lead.
I only have two wires from the down lighters, brown and blue

I'm a little confused , where do I set each wire, I think I put the blue in S1, the brown in S2 and the mains lead, brown in to the common, blue into S1 and the earth in the earthing hole.
Have I got this right ? or about to blow a fuse ?
I would appreciate someones help please.

just as well you asked. it wont work, nice bang though.

if you look in the sticky section there are lots of drawings showing how its done
 
You are about to blow a fuse, and probably destroy your switch in the process.


There are loads of drawings and information in the forum sticky and also in the wiki

On a side note, that seems alot of wires to try and fit into and architrave switch box.

I was having a mad moment.

just thinking it about it, if I was to set the switch in line ie wire the blue in L2 and brown in L1 then other end of cable blue to common and brown into L1 then to mains would that work, tried looking on site but can find the info I need.
regards
