Although I am only a novice Electrician,I have just completed a total rewire of the
MIL's old house. All is fine accept for one double light switch that continues to confound me.
For light No1, I have taken the live wire from the consumer unit and inserted it in the L1 at the top of the switch, I have then taken the Live wire from the light and inserted it at the bottom of the switch.This light works fine, ie switches on when pressed at the top and off, when pressed at the bottom. For light No 2, I have taken a
Bridge wire from the L1 of switch 1 and inserted that in L1 on the second switch, I have now taken the Live wire from light 2 and inserted it into the bottom of switch 2.
This switch works in reverse to the other, Off when pressed at the top and on when pressed at the bottom. The switches are mounted correctly into the carrier and are the right way up, I have even totaly replaced the second switch, but the problem persists.
Any advice from a competant Elecrtician would be gratefully recieved.
