Hi all,
We had a rewire a year ago (long term renovation project) and now want to address a three gang light switch in our hallway which controls landing lights, porch lights and lounge lights. I can now relocate the lounge switch inside of the lounge, which would leave a two gang in the hall.
There are three cables going into the switch, but sure it’s not as easy as whipping one out and putting into a new switch, as all downstairs lighting is on one circuit and named as such on the circuit board. Our ceilings are currently down so have easy access to cables. What would I look for to figure out how our lights have been hooked up so I can hatch a plan?
Comfortable moving things around safely but want to ensure I don’t stop the kitchen and porch lights from switching on and have to put everything back
Thanks in advance - can share photos if you let me know what you need to see.
