Hi. I've tried to check if this problem has been solved elsewhere but I couldn't find anything.
We have a problem with the landing light. When the 2-way switches are off in a certain way (ie
_________
_/ _
_________/ )
then the light is off - no problem. But when the switches are the other way round (ie
_________
_ \_
\_________ )
then the light 'pulses' (as if it is quickly switched on and off) at regular intervals. The bulb fitted is a energy-saving bulb. The wires are red in to the downstairs switch, blue and yellow switching wires and another yellow wire out of the upstairs switch. The upstairs switch box has an additional red wire running through it (which could be the joining live wire - which seems odd to me as live in - switching wires - netural out?)
I thought it may be a switch problem and have changed them to no avail. Could it be a static build-up in one of the switching wires, or is it something much worse?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
