Hi,
This forum has helped me out a few times over the years, but this is my first post and I hope you can help!
I have recently bought the property next door to mine and knocked a wall through upstairs to make a large living room. The room now has a light switch and bulb on each side, on two completely different circuits and boards as they are from different properties.
I am trying to convert the switches so that each switch turns both lights on and off. I am trying to do this using one gang two wat switches on each side and connecting the switches using three core cable.
It's not working, I'm only getting one bulb to work and even that is not working two way!
I am unable to connect the lights together as it makes the job a whole lot messier; I.e. cutting up the ceilings. Thats why I'm trying to connect the switches using three core going under the floor boards.
Any help will be greatly appreciated and diagrams of what I need to do would be very very appreciated!
