Re: Two Gang Switch Wiring Headache

Perfect, thanks. My fault. I was turning the switch the 'right way' up after swapping the wires. Of course, there is no right way up, as long as it works as intended! :)

Re: Two Gang Switch Wiring Headache

Hmmm, that doesn't work. I can now turn on the hall light from the right hand switch as I wanted, but when I flick the switch for the outdoor lights the hall light goes off..... tried combinations of the permanent live & the neutral in both L1 & L2 with no joy?

Then turn the switch upsidedown. (Just to see does it work as you want)


Yup, it now works as I'd like it to, thanks. Any way to swap the switching around now?

Two Gang Switch Wiring Headache

OK, this is giving me a headache! Two Gang Switch as shown in the attached image. The red wire with the black mark on it is the permanent live. As looking at it in the photo, the switch at the right (left hand side if you were looking at it fitted on the wall) controls a hall light and the other one...

What is the Best Type of Paint for Spray Painting Furniture?

OK, struggling to get an answer to this one - I bought a HVLP spray gun, initially to do our 50m of fencing - great; should have bought one years ago.... anyway.... .... I've decide to strip/repaint a table from the house - it's now all sanded and waiting to be painted, but does anyone have any idea...
