Discuss 2 switch wires 1 cable in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Yeah will go to a jb or probably a wago box and then split to the separate lightsYes. Obviously marking the blue with brown sleeving as normal.
out of interest, is this going back up to a joint box or something?

No you can’t, you need a 3 core cable or 2 x twin cablesHi,
Can I run 2 separate switch wires in 1 run of twin and earth?
Cheers
Yes, he can.
We don’t know what any other cable may be present. May already have a live at the switch. Pick up the neutral from somewhere else..... (on the same circuit)
An intermediate could have 4 switch wires across 2 t&e’s
The house is being rewired, but taking the neutral to the switch, for smart switchesI'm only working on the info the OP has supplied. He has not mentioned any existing wires to the switch, that is why I'm questioning what he is actually doing.
I don't think he likes my questions though.. ?
I thought as much. Just be careful you don't end up needing to be looking for a cpc though by using the one cable to feed two circuits.The house is being rewired, but taking the neutral to the switch, for smart switches
Could do. You’d just have to use a 3 core then to take the neutral up?Could someone point out what I'm missing here? This is a rewire and the aim is to bring neutrals to each switch. Is there a reason why this wouldn't be wired as 2 plate, with feed to switch, rather than using junctions?
Nah....he means 2 twins in, 2 out... one to each light.......as long as it's not the same fitting with 2 sw L's.agree with littlespark. feed to switch, bin the JB. 3 core for 2 x sw/L and 1 x N.
The only reason I can think of, its a occupied rewire, and the use of jb's will minimise the amount of floor boards being lifted, etc, however those joint boxes would have to assessable.Could someone point out what I'm missing here?

Is that to assess if they’re accessible?The only reason I can think of, its a occupied rewire, and the use of jb's will minimise the amount of floor boards being lifted, etc, however those joint boxes would have to assessable.
my bad grammar/spelling , yes accessible lolIs that to assess if they’re accessible?
