Evening Evening!
currently have a situation where I have:

switch on loft landing (2way)
switch on 1st floor landing (2way)
which turn some down lights on/off on 1st floor

-SL from the lights is at switch on 1st floor........and 3core from here to loft lanidng

now customer ALSO wants a 3rd switch added further along in the 1st floor landing.

So I know I can change my current 2way switch on 1st floor to an intermediate switch- and run a new 3core from here to the 3rd switch (2way)


my question being- does it matter that my SL+LIVE will be at the intermediate switch- rather than one of the 2way switches (like shown in the diagram below)

-if not is it just an case of the SL and LIVE just going in L2 AND L2 of intermediate?
