novice wiring light switches

[seamus]

Im wiring a few lighs in the shed to a small fuseboard and eco flow, 3 light bulbs and 4 switches, ive followed diagrams but I've obviously made a mistake if anyone can spot it, id appreciate it.

I presume it went bang when you tried the switches?

No neutrals should be connected to the Light switches.

Yes with Live one side and neutral the other it was bound to go pop! on both S1 & S2

 

[seamus]

yes, worked then went pop, chat gbt advised connecting brown from power in s1 and s2 to l1 and l2, and brown from bulb 1 and b2 to l2 on s1 and s2, then removing blues from common on s1 and s2 and joining them with a block, still not working

Please get someone who knows what they are doing to help you out.

Wiring using Ai is a terrible idea,ai does not understand country differences and often mixes them and states things as fact.
Get someone professional in for a few hours.

Without going into detail, and not giving a step by step guide.... maybe an education in simple circuits?

(This is the moment i look at the internet for an easy to follow diagram, and i cant find one!)

Your simple circuit is a source, the Live cable, going to a switch, coming from the switch to a load, your light, and back to the source as a neutral.
As mentioned, there are no neutrals connected to a switch, but they may be present in the box behind.
Just because its blue, it doesn't mean its a neutral. This is where AI gets it completely wrong.

Redo your diagram, ignoring the earths for the time being, showing just 1 switch, 1 light, and we can expand help from there.

I was hoping the OP would have come up with something

I'll happily remove it

No need. I’m sure it will give him a clue.
However, OP not been seen for a week

Let's hope "chat gbt" didn't give him even worse advice.
