Adding a strapper to a 3 gang light switch.

[Wanchai]

Hope someone can help, apologies I’m new to this. I have a two gang switch for ceiling lights (work perfectly) which I am turning into a three gang in order to add a wall light. I have successfully connected the new three gang for the ceiling lights. As I’m unable to take a spur from the existing N in the ceiling I would like to add a strapper in the switch for the wall light but confused by all the diagrams on line. I have linked up the L and the Spurs in yellow for the ceiling lights are from L1 on the two switches. Appreciate any help!

Is there actually a neutral at the switch. A pic may help.

Thanks for your quick reply! This was the two gang which I have wired as a three gang with the spare switch meant to be for the wall light.

Your missing the neutral, you will need to get one to the new wall light

Thanks Phil
I was led to believe that instead of a neutral that I could use a strapper in the light switch. I obviously have the L and N from the wall light ready to connect and understood that I would need a N or a strapper? The problem I have is the concrete ceiling would have to be chiselled to insert a N and I was hoping for a simpler solution.

Thanks Westward10. No N and Phil pointed out

Is anyone else wondering why there are 2 yellows and a red?
