Re-wire a light

Posted by Paul Grayston, on Tue 25 Oct 2016 03:52pm

Hi. I am trying to wire a two gang two way switch. Previously it worked two lights from one button. I want the lights to work independently of a button each. This is the only socket wired in to the lights. I have tried to fix it myself and now nothing lights up! Currently wired.... top 2w red. Com A red linked to com B at the bottom. Bottom 2w red. Com b red. Help please

Hi Paul If your switch used to switch 2 lights on at the same time you'll prob find the lights would have been linked together via the light fittings and not the switch. It won't be a case of moving wires at the switch. You will need an electrician to do this for you Thanks Russ
