[QUOTE="lilbil, post: 486130, member: 31786"] Hi, Having just moved into a new house I inherited a landing of dangling wires where the previous owner had obviously removed the light and just left it (luckily the electrics were off). When I viewed the property I made a point of testing the lights and this particular light (landing) was controlled by 2 switches, 1 downstairs 1 upstairs. Whats confusing me is that there are 2 triple cables and 1 single and having inspected the switches the single wire matches the connection within them. I also noticed a terminal block on the floor which I guess was connected to 1 or more of the wires,,,,, I have tried all sorts of combinations (via a ceiling rose) presuming the single wire is the 'switch' wire all to no avail. Any help or advice is most gratefully received, Lilbil [/QUOTE]
