    Electrics tripping RCD

    Fault finding is an art and varies on every job. Two example… I was called to a fault on a machine: 5 mins to find the fault and THOUSANDS of pounds to cure it Another machine 2 days to locate a fault and the parts cost less than 10p

    2 gang switch with a lot going on

    Same as this BUT in your case the "Landing light" ( in this diagram) is off the lower switch. It’s a standard two way sometimes called a 'conversion'

    Or, if anyone has been following my ,'heated debate' on another site, use two intermediates 😉. I have had some nonce telling ME that I don’t know what I’m talking about and Ints can only be used with 2 ways 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    Cable size on sockets

    I never chose that avatar, I was happy with what I had. Some previous mod admin who thought it was amusing changed it when I mentioned southern softies and Essex girls in white shoes dancing around their handbags. The Kleenex bit may be referring to a female TV person who has a crush on me...
