please could someone help me!!!
wiring two way switches in singles to control two batten holders. need to do a wiring diagram, want to know if ive got it right!!
 
Think this is right:

From CU run neutral to first light, then loop to next light.
Run the line from the CU to the Com on first 2way switch.
Run your S/L from Com in your second 2way switch to switch line in the batton holder rose and loop to next holder.
Run your strappers from switch to switch (L1 to L1, L2 to L2)
And where the line goes, the cpc follows.

Hope thats right, only done this last week at college...
 
Good on yer boys, keep up the good work.

Good on yer boys, keep up the good work. Just as a tester what about an intermediate then. And dont be scarred to get it wrong, dont be afraid to ask in our game, after all a man that never made a mistake never made anything, a quote from my when i was starting from an old electrician who is now wiring jobs up there somewhere.
