I've read through as many posts as possible and i am still at a loss. Any advice would be appreciate.
I previously had a porch light that was operated from a single gang rocker switch. Pretty straight forward. Red, Black and earth cables fitted into the relevant two connectors on the rear of the switch with the earth being attached directly to the socket casing.
I have now purchased a welcome light which has been mounted outside the front door. The cabling has been routed through the wall and directly down to the original porch light switch position. I have replaced the single rocker with a twin two gang rocker. This has three connectors per switch. Com, L1 and L2.
I have the two wires coming from the original light in the porch ceiling (Black and Red) and the same from the new light that has been fitted. plus earths from both.
I have spent 3 hours now, with no luck trying to get the porch light and exterior welcome light to operate from each switch on the 2 gang twin rocker and all i can manage is either 1 light operating.
What is the correct layout for the wiring please ????
