Help with light wiring.

[Raptor0014]

Morning all.

A friend sent these pics of his garage lights and I’m trying to fathom out how they are wired.

Each end of the garage has a 2G light switch. 1 switch does the main lights the other switch does the light above his workshop section.

From what I can see there is a 3 core taking the feed to the other switch on the side with only one wire in Common, L1 & L2

It’s throwing me looking at the other side as I am trying to work out how it is all being switched.

I think I have worked it out right from the pics. Just wanted some confirmation from this with more experience.

I hate light circuits. ??

what we call looped in at the switch ,not many sparks can do that .

simple arrangement L and S/L to 1 2way switch. 3 core to 2nd switch. repeated for other light. just the 2 lights have their feed in/out at different switches.

So is my Johnny age 3 wiring diagram correct?

None of the conductors connected to the switches are or should be neutral as indicated by the brown sleeving in the first photo.

looks OK to me. basically Lin to L1 and Lout from L2. with 3 core strappers to other switch. pretty standard arrangement.

Basically the brown/blue to the switches is permanent live/switched live return. The brown/black/grey between are common and two strappers. No neutral at switches.

As I said. I hate light circuits. ?

Johnny 3 try using a ruler next time , 1 star for trying .lol.

I was trying to get the effect of it being wire as they aren’t straight. ?

gay wires. whatever next?

Not looped in, no neutral.
Commonly called 2-way conversion.

rainbow colours .lol.

Not looped in, no neutral.

yes you are correct ,same principle .

If a Grey wire chooses to identify as a pink wire. Who are we to argue?

(Gender) neutral wires??
