[QUOTE="DonkeyDong, post: 18888, member: 156"] Hi, you have described it very poorly! :( There are two common ways to wire a 2way. One way - which sounds similar to yours is to: Feed (live and neutral) to the ceiling rose, then a live from there to switch 1 common, the a switched live from switch 1 l1 back to the light - same cable. Then three core and earth from each terminal on switch 1 to the same terminals on switch 2. As has been stated don't get mixed up with the colours and their actual usage. D. [/QUOTE]
