Switch wire for landing light and 3core and earth on one switch and the switch wire for bathroom on the other. Obviously CPC's terminated appropriately.

They go, call an electrician before you injure yourself.

Well not really as long as it's isolated I don't see any order those wires could be put that would even chase it to trip never mind anything else there just all lives going through a switch not like you can put live to neutral is it. Anyway thanks for your useless input

With an attitude like that i wish you good luck, you are going to need it.

Well you could miss a step in the safe isolation procedure and receive a fatal electric shock. Or there could be a situation where you have a pre existing fault such as a borrowed neutral or a polarity fault, or the one which nearly killed me a few years ago where a mistake by the original installer ultimately led to the earth wire being live at 240V and me being knocked out cold by it.

I was thinking red from downstairs switch to com with the black (to light) in l1along with the yellow in l1 from down stairs then the blue from down stairs switch in l2 along with the permanent live and then the red live from down stairs switch in com. And then the red and black in com and l1 in the other gang for bathroom light, anyone confirm this is correct?

I check everything with tester driver before I touch it anyway and it's really not that difficult to isolate supply it's only a 20 year old property so fairly modern electrics and consumer unit

If this is not a windup then i am speechless to be honest.

Sorry Street but see #3 above. 'Tester drivers' are not a funky bit of kit to use except for maybe putting flat pack together. They should be consigned to the bin.

If you are still determined, look up some wiring diagrams or see other 2 way switch.

It's just to lives with through lives though isn't it so in reality no matter how there switched it's not dangerous

 

[Stret]

That's irrelevant any way as Im fully trained in turning a switch on a consumer unit to the off position

University of life eh.

Could end up with a Darwin award.

I'm not wiring a house here it's just a switch what's the big deal
