Rewiring garage lighting

[Mamlad777]

Hi, im wanting to rewire my garage lighting and replace the lights currently in there now.

At the moment i have a two gang switch controlling two lights inside and one outside fed from an fcu. At the other end of the garage there is an outside light on a plug top.

i want to replace the two light fittings for led batten lights and add an extra 2 gang switch at the other end of the garage so it can be controlled two way and have the outside light controlled by a switch rather than on a plug top.

I know i have to run a two core to the switch from the fcu, a two core up to the inside lights and a 3 core between the switches. What i need to know is how to wire the new two gang switch for the outside light that is currently on a plug top as there will be no neutral at this point.

Thanks

you' needto get a neutral to either the switch for the outside light ot the light itself, either from the FCU or from the internal light.

How would i do this? What cable would i take from which point?

you could buy 100m of blue single sheathed cable, expensive for what you need, or some 1.0mm T/E, just use the blue, come from either the light neutral or the outgoing N of the FCU.

So ill have 4 cables coming from the first switch right? 2 core to first outside light, 2 core to inside lights, 3 core between switches and an extra 2 core to carry the neutral to the second two gang switch?
