DIY
Using a tuturial from a college lecturer, I've installed 2 way lights in our hallway. The cable I've used is 1mm lighting flex (2 core). The process I've used is taking the power to the switch. So I've used the permanent line from a neighbouring switch (4 gang) and connecting this to L2 where it joins with the cable I'm sending through to the other switch. I'm also passing the neutral direct (linked) to the light. The permanent line is then taken from L1 up to the light. I'm using 3 core for the switching between the lights.
The first thing I did was detach the second spot light, as this used 1.5mm wires. I read that using different cable strengths can cause flickering.
The second thing I did was try using another source but the flickering remained
So the question is with the flickering, should I be using thicker cables at then switch?
