Hi
Is there any one out there n sparky world can draw me a wiring diagram for the following. You can see the drawing that n entering the main door top of the stairs, on the left will be two double switches one will be able to turn on the main light, with the option to be able to turn on/off from the bedside as well. The other double switch again to be able to turn on/off the beside lighting.

I hope someone can help?

The question is.....why?
yes. i can see the need for 3 way switching for the main light, but not for the bedside ones.
 
With such a request for this basic switching arrangement,consider whether you are wise to tackle this job

Why? ...more like why not... We live in non-discriminatory times.

Back on topic
Looks like two sets of mutli-way switching controlling both the main light and bedside lighting from three positions ..... but no automatic switching control for the oil dispensers !
 
Three pillows, huh? ...

I am a electrical panel engineer so me doing the work is not an issue all want is a simple diagram of how to run the wiring, and I want to be able to turn the lights on and of fro the bedside, as my brother is now bed ridden following drunk driver hitting him, leaving him unable to ever walk. This way he can control the room lighting. So "it is nothing kinky" as some has said?
 
Alot of hotels wire both on 3 way ....why I don`t know

Its quite common in a lot of bedrooms. I'd prefer RF hand remote controlled switching myself...
 
I'm assuming that there will be some sort of extra wiring to be fitted maybe ie making a single light switch a 2 or 3 way or adding extra light pendants? & if so wouldn't that be notifiable?

Hi Thanks for your reply. In the room there are three further light rose fittings and three switches to use if required.
 
not notifiable unless it's a new circuit.
 
Profile states...Engineer with

17th, part p & Testing. Still baffled by a two way & intermediate switching arreangement!

Considering your an engineer with your 17th part p and pat testing chuckle I am amazed you need help with a basic school boy wiring system.
