Steeling S/l & N

[Electroglow]

hii all,

who has ever used a intermediate 3 way lighting circuit & instead of going on from the light to add an additional light but has taken the S/L from the last switch L2 & used that to switch the light on off ??

 

[Andy™]

as long as its all part of the same circuit, then you can

i have never done it b4, but in this case it was a lot easier to do that, than taking it from the fitting.

don't like it my self but hey

as long at the L2 runs in line

Where did the neutral come from ?

 

[Evans Electric]

I wondered that !

 

[Electroglow]

ahhh you see i ran a out side light in 3 core and there is a 2 gang switch with the hall light and out side light..... so i used the spare from there n ran it to the light

obis took feed to switch with N

 

[binky]

plze speeky in english so ud old farts can understand wtf you are saying

 

[ProDave]

Just as long as you haven't borrowed a neutral from a different lighting circuit.

Eh !! :C

 

[kme]

And I thought it was just me...........

WTF is "obis"?????

And your explanation STILL didn`t give me the understanding of where your neutral comes from (but I am getting old & stupid)

 

[ParkySparky]

I think the feed and neutral were wired to the switch originally! Well that's what I can make of it anyway!!!

 

[ProDave]

If you have feed, Sl and N all at the last switch, then just take your feed to the light from there. That after all is probably how the first light is connected anyway.

With 2 or 3 way lighting there are many ways of wiring it, so you have to work with what you have got.
