Hi there,
Does anybody know where I could get hold of a double-pole double-throw switch (also known as a four-way-switch, crossover switch and change over switch)? I would like to control a set of lights with three switches, and it is possible by using two SPDT switches at each end (like in a...
Hi every one this is my first post. Iv got 3 switchs switching on 1 set of lights but instead of wiring it as normal by feeding the first switch and taking the light there as well I messed up and have feed the middle switch (intermediate) and also taken the lights back to the there, iv been told...
Greetings.
I am pulling cables through a conduit system next door and have a question. The lights will be two way plus intermediate. I have attached a link to a diagram:
The diagram picture number 3 shows "two wire switching plus intermediate two wire control", this would really help me.
It...
Help!!
trying to complete a job, in London for a French couple. At a late stage, two floors first fixed, the client wants to use a French make of accessories, Arnould (off shoot of Legrand).
Basically, they do not make an intermediate switch like ours but uses a system back at the CCU on the...
Hi I hope someone can help. Im trying to replace my landing light switch. The wires I have are two red, two black and one brown. The landing switch works on its own and can also be turned on and off in the hall downstairs. I have wired the new switch, a 1 gang 2 way the same as my old switch...

How do you guys do it? Referring to the two pictres below, what are the pro's and cons to the two different methods? I'm trying to settle a minor dispute with a friend :)
Hi, this post is similar to the "3 Gang switch Question" in some ways.
Basically I want to control 4 lights from different locations in a new installation.
Outdoor porch light (On ground floor controlled from 1 location)
Ground floor hallway light (Controlled from 1 Possibly 2 locations on...
Evening all,can anyone provide a clear diagram of the 2 way and intermediate switching requirements for the new am2 test,i have found a couple on here but they are not very clear.
Thanks,Pete.
please forgive my ignorance, but when testing for your R1R2 when switches are set in the off position the meter should be showing open circuit? Done a couple today and meter giving high ohm reading rather than open circuit.
Am i missing something here ?
ground floor
first floor
second floor

Help needed with this dilemma I can't get an intermediate circuit to switch correctly right this is why

There so annoying they I seem to wire them upside down all the time anyway, can anyone tell me how to wire hamilton intermediate switch with the switch line there aswell L1 L2? Going back there to this wknd any suggestion would be great.
Thank you in advance
To change a 2 way lighting circuit to an intermediate circuit, do I just replace the two way switch with an intermediate switch, then use a 3 core twin an earth from the intermediate switch to the additionally two way switch?
hi all,

mate called me up after trying to replace some switches and losing his way

for the life of me i cant get my brain in gear and explain it to him in easy...
Hi,
Is it possible to make a 2 way light switch behave as an intermediate switch? I have an installation that requires a 3gang switch with 2x Intermidiate with 1x 2way and cant seem to find one anywhere.
hi all, got a little problem i can't get my even littler head around.
The sparks that helped on the first fix have left me an intermediate switch that is also needing to be a 3 gang switch, for the controlling of stair lights. How am I supossed to get the intermediate to work, as 3 gangs have...
I understand basic lighting circuits/diagrams and 2 ways and 3 ways involving an intermediate. (Well i say that but i might struggle second fixing the intermediate, but i do know the first fix).
How do you wire more than 3 switches to switch light(s)? Do you just add another intermediate and...
