[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 15486, member: 7"] at the risk of being shot down here, as happens frequently I'll have a stab at your question. and dont worry about your spelling, its much better than mine when Ive had a few. and as you seem pretty resigned to doing this work yourself first off a little disclaimer. I take no responsibility for you or anyone else being electrefried or your house burning down. from your junction box take a 1.5mm T&E cable(brown and blue) to your switch, from your switch take a 1.5T&E to your 1st light, then from light 1 take a T&E to light 2 etc. at the switch simply join the Blue cables together and put the brown through the switch. for the other 2 switch banks simply link the incoming brown to the common terminal of each switch and do as before joining the blues together. HTH. remember you really should be getting this work certificated otherwise you could be invalidating your house insurance and therefore have no recompense in case of ANY eventuality whatsoever.
