Can anybody help clarify, what i am doing wrong here. This was the current setup for a single pendent light:
The wires on the left are how they where in the system previously, i have just added them to the new switch. Two wires into the top, and the live at the bottom in the COM.
The second switch is to run two spot lights. I want these to be independent from the main light. So that i can have either the main light on, or the two spot lights. I’ve added in the new cable for the spotlights into the top on the second switch, and have added a jumper from the live at the bottom into the live at the bottom on the right switch.
These now work perfectly. BUT, the second switch is only ‘live’ when the first switch is turned on. Not when its switched off.
Any idea what i need to do to make the second switch on the right independent from the one on the left?
Thanks
