How to add a new light to an existing two way switch

victoria69 · 13 Jan 2008

Hi

I wonder if anyone can help me. I have an extra light that I want to add to an existing two way switch located in the stairwell. Do I simply feed a two core and earth cable to the switch and connect it to one of the switches at the switched live and neutral?

Any help much appreciated!

are you sure that there is a neutral at the switch?

anything connected to the switch terminals is not a neutral.. if there is a black cable in the back of the switch in a terminal block then it may be a neutral.. ( it may be blue if your switch wires are brown.. )
