[QUOTE="Philip01, post: 534973, member: 34454"] In my opinion you have a 2 way switching for the landing and the same for the hall light not something most sparks do, normally it’s just a 2 way for the landing. So power off remove hall switch from the wall it’s probably a 2 gang switch now note the position of the 3 core cable in the switch you have, common or C, L1, L2, you need to mirror these positions upstairs at the switch, now that just leaves the red/red cable upstairs that cable spans an L1 L2 and fits in with the existing cables, so if you have used yellow and red in L1 L2 you’ll end up with a yellow and a red in one terminal and red red in the other Good luck with that [/QUOTE]
