Probably a silly question as I haven’t come across it yet.
On a 2 way switch I assume a dimmable lamp will work ok with 1 switch on a dimmer and the other on a normal light switch? So no dim when the normal light switch is pressed (just on/off) but when the dimmer switch is used the light will...
Hi all, currently doing a job at a house where there are 3 switches In the hallway to control the hall lights. All 1 gang switches, one at entrance one in middle and one at exit, middle is an intermediate, other two are two way , the client wants all switches changed to dimmable. If I change the...
Hi all, looking for a little advise on how to wire in a 2 gang intermediate switch.
I'm doing a first fix on a house extension and it's 3 storey.
I was going to put 2 way 2 gang switch down stairs, to operate ground and middle floor.
Then put 2 gang intermediate switch on middle floor and I...
I'm using the power to switch method for three kitchen pendant lights that have 3 switches with 1 intermediate. I'm using 3 Core for the switching cables and 2 Core to the lights. The problem I'm having is that the lights aren't coming on, so I need to go through the some checking of the...
Hi chaps, I have a summer house to wire up and there's gonna be some soffit lights that will be 2wayed from within the summer house, simple enough.
I want to add a quinetic wireless intermediate so they can be switched back at the house, and I can't for the life of me think how this would be...
Hi All,
Sorry for the stupid question but thought I might have a quick job in replacing a 2 gang light switch. 1 switch runs the downstairs hall lights, the other runs the top landing lights. Both have other switches at other parts of the house.
i've attached the old switch and a new switch...
Evening all
Try to rack my brain about whether this would work.....
Customer on a job wants to add a 3rd switch on a lighting circuit, however it is near impossible to get from the 2way switch but easy to get from the first switch
Will having the intermediate switch where the feed and switch...
Hi
I am sitting my AM2S next week. I feel fine with all of it except the lighting section. it requires a 2 way and intermediate lighting circuit to be installed. but unsure how to tackle it whether to wire at the switch or to go the light first. not that sure on it.
greatly appreciate if...
Hi guys. Fitting some really cheap stuff in a woman’s 3 storey house. The intermediate switch she’s provided me has L1 & L2 at the top, and L1 & L2 at the bottom, every time I’ve done any intermediate switches they’ve been L1 & L1 at the top, L2 & L2 at the bottom. Sorry for my amateur sounding...
Hi
I was asked to change an intermediate and 2 way switch for chrome and some other bits , so fairly straightforward I thought.
About 10 years ago someone converted the landing 2 way to an intermediate by taking a 3 core across the other side of the landing from the switch at the top of the...
Hi
looking for a bit of hopefully simple advice.
I am replacing an existing intermediate light switch. As it suggests, it is the central of 3 switches working 2 upstairs lights. First switch by bedroom, second switch this one, third switch downstairs.
The existing switch is as follows:
It is...
Hi Everyone,
I’ve got an unusual situation with a 3 way switching.
I need to add another switch. I will call the new switch 2a .. However, I can’t access the wiring to switches 1 and 3 (long story, but it’s impossible in this particular situation)
Does some kind soul who’s brainier than me, know...
Hello - I hope someone is able to help. I have three light switches (2 x 2-way, one with a dimmer, and an intermediate switch). I seem to have trouble with my intermediate switch. Both the 2-way switches/dimmer work as expected. But if I switch the intermediate, the light goes on and neither of...
Hi all,
I was watching Adrian Daveys video on YouTube and he had this diagram drawn on the board. Made me think of a scenario I came across before when I had to second fix a flat with similar light circuit and the difference was I had a s/l with a feed at the first switch.
Looking at the...
Hi,
I'm living in the UK and over the weekend I've been replacing downlights in my sunroom with LED's. When I went to replace the switch with a dimmer I noticed the switch is an intermediate, although I'm not able to locate the other switches. After searching the house I can only find the one...
I'm trying to add extra lights to my hallway. There is currently 1 light with three switches to control it. The wires from the intermidiate switch run where I want to add the new lights.
Am I able to add lights to the circuit from these wires?
In my first attempt I cut one of these wires and...
