run a three core and earth cable between your existing switch and your new switch position then you will need two two way switches

where do the wires go in the two way switches ie the three core wire colour wise and all so in the sealing rose

can you give me the wiring diagram for the two way lighting system like where the colours go in the switch and in the celing rose so i can under stand it easly

tg, well you could look in the reference section all is explained it colour pics but basically, at your original switch your two existing cores go into L1 & L2 and your new three core cable ( all cores should have some red tape on to identify they are switched lives) brown to C black and grey to L1 & L2 with two existing cores. job done. so one cable in C two cables in L1 and two cables in L2

sorry then at new switch position brown to C and black, grey to L1 & L2
