Parallel push to break cupboard lights...

[SanToki]

Hi there, just about to put a light in a cupboard and I wanted it to be activated by a push break switch from either of the two doors...
Would I be correct in assuming this is just as simple as wiring them up with the switches in parallel on the live as shown here;

Yes.

+ and earth should be L and N.

The switches will be normally closed (which have their contacts held open by the doors shut against them) and be suitably rated.

Yes they will be wired in parallel.

With regard to the diagram though, the other side of the light is not connected to earth. It will be connected to neutral.
The lights will need earthing though if they are of class 1 construction.

EDIT: Doh - too slow !

Oops, yea that's what I meant - getting my symbols mixed up
Cheers.
