How would I wire two lights from a two way switch in singles?

[Mr Curnow]

Would there be two lines from - Consumer unit> Two way switch> Lights
- Consumer unit> Lights?
Or Just one line from - Consumer unit> Two way switch> Lights?



The earth would go from the - Consumer unit> Two way switch> Lights
The neutral would go from the - Consumer unit> Lights

.take 1 feed from the CU to the 1st light, add switch wire as normal in rose, other end of sw. wire to L1/L2 on nearest sw. 3 core from sw1 to sw2. loop 2nd light from 1st rose s/l and n. joint cpc's at each point.

Why in singles specifically?

Here you go mate, hope this helps.

nice pic paul, but i hate junction boxes if there's no need for them apart from saving a quid on cable.

every electrical switch , socket and accessory is in effect a junction box, it,s just that they have another function too

I am wiring singles in conduit for my 2330 level 2 practical exam.

 

[Dunc]

Consumer unit to common on first switch, two cores between switches connecting L1 to L1 and L2 to L2, then from second switch to first pendant then on to second pendant connecting at the SL point (flex) in both cases. A neutral then need to go from CU to both pendants and earth wires looped round switches and pendants. Hope that makes sense.

Wait for singles in conduit would I use Dunc's method or telectrix's method?
Dunc's method was the one I was thinking to use at first, it seems simpler.

Dunc's is the one you want. Standard configuration, It's not usual to take live feeds to lights when wiring singles in conduit,although there is nothing wrong with tel's method,I'd guess they will be looking for Dunc's.

 

[telectrix]

i have to stand corrected. i missed the "singles " in the title.

 

[telectrix]

giio, i meant a junction box stuck under the floor somewhere as opposed to jointing in a switch box or fitting, where connections are readily accessible without having to hunt around for a JB.

That is what I thought at first, my teacher told us that way, I think I need a bit more explanation on the wiring between the two lights. I was getting confused reading telectrix's method.

sorry mate, see post #11.

sorry mate, see post #11.

It's fine.
Don't worry you were just trying to help.
