Morning all.

A friend sent these pics of his garage lights and I’m trying to fathom out how they are wired.

Each end of the garage has a 2G light switch. 1 switch does the main lights the other switch does the light above his workshop section.

From what I can see there is a 3 core taking the feed to the other switch on the side with only one wire in Common, L1 & L2

It’s throwing me looking at the other side as I am trying to work out how it is all being switched.

I think I have worked it out right from the pics. Just wanted some confirmation from this with more experience.

I hate light circuits. ??

simple arrangement L and S/L to 1 2way switch. 3 core to 2nd switch. repeated for other light. just the 2 lights have their feed in/out at different switches.
 
looks OK to me. basically Lin to L1 and Lout from L2. with 3 core strappers to other switch. pretty standard arrangement.
 
None of the conductors connected to the switches are or should be neutral as indicated by the brown sleeving in the first photo.
Basically the brown/blue to the switches is permanent live/switched live return. The brown/black/grey between are common and two strappers. No neutral at switches.

As I said. I hate light circuits. ?
