I have an extension which I need to wire up lighting inside and outside. I have 1 wall light and two external halogen lights and I want all three switched from the same place but on its own switch.(simple enough)!! I have run a permanent live and neutral from the upstairs lighting circuit to the switch box and from there I have run 1 cable to each light fitting, I intend to put the permanent live to the first common on the switch and then loop to the next two commons on the switches, then I intend to run a live from the opposite side of the swithches to each light fitting and connect all three neutrals together with the permanent neutral.
2 electicians have told me this is correct and 1 electrician has said its not right. so, who is right ?? mike- posted
