Hi All,

Hi folks,
I’m new to the forum and it’s this issue that lead me here.

Hi boys and girls.

I've got a customer with 2 way switches which I want to rectify it in such a way it would simultaneously control the single light fitting. The original switch only turns ON the light if BOTH switches are ON.
The original configuration is the permanent live goes to L1 then when I switch it, it...
