two way light. Is there a good web site that may have diagrams?
Any help appreciated..

That way will confuse most, as the switch pair are only at the existing
switch.
1 1
(blue) o---(new cable)------o-----(existing)------Red from lamp
(red) c o------( )---------o c
(yellow) o---( )------o-----( )------Black to lamp
2 2
Is easier, and saves using connector blocks, etc.
Simplest way is to run 1.0mm Triple and Earth between the two switches -
thats the cable which has red, yellow and blue sleeved conductors.

Mine was a circuit diagram, rather than an implementation plan, but
I like your way better!

I nicked it from a proper sparks, after years of using connector
blocks.;-)

While on this topic.
1) Is it possible to have a two-way switch with a dimmer on both switches?
2) is it possible to have a two-way switches and only one dimmer?
3) How are 3-way lights wired?
Just a thought, someone may have come up with something.

Never seen one commercially, and it's not possible with standard dimmers,
but I have some at home that I made. Basically, it uses shaft encoders,
rather than pots, which send a digital signal - either 'up' or 'down' - to
the custom built dimmer electronics. Rather costly at the time.;-(

Yes - most push on/off dimmers have a two way switch built in. But not the
type that turns down and then clicks off.
> 3) How are 3-way lights wired?
They are called intermediate switches and have 4 terminals instead of the
3 for a two-way.

Cat - maybe but pretty cleaver to get all the key combinations to start
and post a new email
