I must have misunderstood but I thought in previous threads this was the case.

You shouldn’t presume, it’s 2019

Mind you, the 2005 remix was tricky for the Animals...

Yes, that will work just fine, I would do it the same way. Not a dig at you specifically but doesn't anyone learn to use electrical symbols on day 1 of the course these days? I keep seeing people (not just DIYers) drawing pictures of switches and things instead of their symbols.

Protip: Don't use different colour pens to show different colour cores!

Question: Could it be made to work with T+E instead of the 3c+E? Is that method better or worse than this one?

Thank you and nope hardly see any symbols unless at work we get plans and what’s your question sorry?

Not wired many light switches with feed there so was making sure, spark I work with tells me 1 way between Com and L1/L2 and 2 way between L1 and L2 which helped a bit
Also he told me he likes to wire lights if there’s a feed in and out at the switch to same point not like my drawing so the feed comes in to L1 on my drawing and links between the switches he said if it’s him he likes to feed to L1 and out of L1 then link between if there’s any other switches but I presume that’s preference?
