Two way switches Ask questions and find answers to many subjects relating to electrics and electrical work

Hi

I have two 1-gang 2-way light switches in the hall. I was expecting one of them to have two cables

They both have a single 4-core cable: red, blue, yellow, and earth. Is it likely that they are both connected to a junction box to the power and lighting cable? If so is this all ok?

[Mr White]

Probably. It could be connected at the light.
Why the concern?

I want to swap new ones in, possibly chrome, but I’m always a little nervous when it’s wired differently to how is recommended in the books / sites I’ve checked

I’m probably just being over cautious, but I tend to be a bit ocd with the lecky
