strappers

[bengie]

you don't have to as such paul it travels up the 3 core

he said 2 gang not 2 way

this 2g switch, is it the switch with the T&E+3core or just 3core?

if its the one with both cables then simply connect one switch to the other(so for example in L1 at the first switch you will have the feed in, common in the 2 way switching and the feed out to the other switch.), if its at the other end of the 3core then sadly it won't work as you only have a 3core cable taking common and two strappers so all cores used.

i hope that makes sense.

2 3cores between switch boxes?

and 2 2cores from switch box 2 to lights

presume 1 is going to spots 1 is going to pendant?

 

[paul b b]

and 2 2cores from switch without feed to lights

presume 1 is going to spots 1 is going to pendant?

yes, so 2x 3core and 4x 2core

 

[Lee321]

yes, so 2x 3core and 4x 2core

so switch 1 has 2 x 2core and 2 x 3core 1 of the 2 cores is the feed

the other goes to?

switch 2 has 2 x 3c from other sw and 2 2cores 1 going to pendant 1 going to spots?

 

[paul b b]

switch 1 has 6 cables in total

2 x feed

1 pendant

1 spot

2x strappers

switch 2 has

2x strappers

 

[bengie]

sorry for the delay, dinner was ready.

sounds quite simple to me, i'll do another pic

 

[Lee321]

just connect the strappers as normal. if you have neutrals too join them in box. i.e no connection to switches

beat ya bengie
