Wall lights - sddsddean
3 Answers
sddsddean, Thanks for the answer on wall lights. Can I explain a little more. The outside light is already connected. I have attached the wall light to the wall and run a cable from the wall light direct to the light switch. When I connected the wall light to the light switch and turned it on one light came on and the other stayed off. When I flicked the switch, the reverse happened. I therefore always had one light on! Any ideas?

L1 and L2 are both positive terminals, but used for loops so you can have 2 switches working one light (ie top and bottom of stairs).Like wildwood says, just put the new wires into the same terminals as the existing wires. Thus you will have 2 wires going into each terminal (and don't forget the earth!)
