chartpolski 20,427 Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Oh dear, I honestly don't want to get involved in this, but all a switch does is break the circuit. What you appear to have there is a two gang switch, and the only thing going into it should be a live feed. If you just want it to supply a feed to two separate lights, disconnect all those black wires, put a link between the two commons, connect a live feed to either common, it doesn't matter which one, , then one "L1" to one lamp and the other "L1" to the other lamp. I say this in the nicest way, but you obviously haven't a clue, so if it goes wrong, please don't say " Chart's told me to do it " ! ! Better still, get some one who knows what they are doing Cheers. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And create a dead short, resulting in a blown fuse if you're lucky or a burnt out house if you're unlucky ! Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you have a live and neutral feed in and a live and neutral out to each light you need to put all three neutral wires in a separate strip connector. The live feed in goes into the common and you also need to link common to common with a short piece of wire. You then put a live from one light feed into the left hand L1 and the other live into the right hand L1. I will draw you a diagram if you need it. Those switches are a pain in the arse because of the neon. you can just remove it if it’s not necessary to you. Hope this helps Edited to say. I am an electrician just what i need robbi your a star mate working i just joined neutrals together i’m going to fly to bandq before it closes for strip connector and some electrical tape for the neutral thanks again mate mans chartpolski for chipping in knee all along the wind up merchant mans shh you tried mate i just don’t know if you was trying to blow me up 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
