One source, two lights, one switch per light

by Barrettone » Sat Aug 20, 2022 9:37 am

I’m trying to wire a super simple garage system; I’ve got power coming from a consumer unit and I want one set of lights controlled by one switch, and a floodlight from another. Switches are in one unit.
I’m sure I’m overthinking it, but I can’t find a good way of wiring it up- any help please?

Cable from each light to the switch.
Cable from the 5A/6A fuse/mcb in the consumers unit to the switch
Connect all the earths together
Connect all the neutrals together
Connect the lives to the switch.
