[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 361871, member: 7"] electrical regs arent law, anmd AFAIAA there isnt any building reg to state so, but, there is an electrical reg to state convenience, have you got a newbuild without 2way switching? a lot of houses do not have the means to turn off the hall light from upstairs, its very very common, almost standard i would say, usually the only light with 2way switching would be the landing light, perhaps you should have specified this on purchase if you bought on spec. ah, just re-read, yep, there is something about stairwell lighting, totally different to hallway lighting. so, is it a stairwell, or a hall? Id class more than one flight of stairs a stairwell, you could get away with bottom floor being one way, but middle and top should deffo be 2 way, and anyone half decent would have all 3 as 2way [/QUOTE]
