Adding lights and changing light switches will often come up as questions in group discussions.
How can we add a new ceiling light and then convert the existing 2 gang light-switch into a 3 gang switch
What are the steps involved
We will look at a typical two gang two light circuit and then show you how this can quickly and effortlessly be changed into a 3 light circuit, all controlled from one 3 gang switch.
In the video we will look at the connections to be made to install the new ceiling rose, moving the existing wiring and installing the new wiring to the new 3 gang switch.
To view all of our videos type in LearnElectrics all one word into the RU-vid search bar.
This is video No.168 on our RU-vid channel where we have videos on a wide range of electrical topics.

Great video as always. Here (Canada) we need to run a neutral wire, hot wire and switch wire in every switch box we install. As more and more WiFi smart switches need the neutral wire. Rules are always changing, what happened to the good old days of 2 wires without ground. Much easier back then.

Thanks for the support Lyle. Yes, its happening here too, some sparkies already installing a neutral at each switch ready for future use. Thanks for watching and commenting. Dave.

@@learnelectrics4402 Dave please with reference to the question asked about providing neutral in switches for WiFi smart switch, can you make a video on it about how it's done. I want to know whether how many neutral goes in there for the WiFi smart switch. Is it supply neutral alone or both supply neutral and load neutral.

Great video as always. It will be good to show exactly same scenario, but what tk do when power is going to switch - not to ceiling. Is more popular method nowdays. And make video about intermediate switch.

Would we need to add any loops if the middle switch powers the third switch (When middle light is on both pendant and spotlights work) (when middle light if on off position the 3rd switch doesn’t work) (3rd switch controls pendant when middle is on)

Check your wiring and have another look at the video. I always find it helps to actually draw the switch and the wires and follow the wiring through. Dave.

You will already have line at the switch. have a look at the video on the link below, it will show you the options for 2 plate lighting. Dave. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L1cyoqBLkeI.html

Nicely explained, My only complaint is why do you refer to the earth conductor as the CPC , this is a college thing . When you buy a drum of cable it’s labelled as in this instance 1.5mm2 Flat twin and earth-TW&E , not flat twin and CPC. Even BS7671 refer to it as twin and earth or flat twin and earth. BS7671 also refer to fuses , MCB and so on as the circuit protection device but we simply refer to them as the fuse, the MCB, the RCBO. It has always been the earth conductor and always will be . Great video as always Dave 👍

Yep, I know what you mean Sean. It's a boffin thing. According to the building regs the only earth is at the incomer to the CU. the main earth. Everything else is a cpc. That;s why, in most videos I will say the earth or cpc. Not my rules. Thanks for watching, I'm sure there are thosands of sparkies out there that agree with your comments. me too.

@@learnelectrics4402 no need to thank me for watching. I have watched and saved over two or three hundred of your videos why because I enjoy them and I always learn something new from them as the industry is rapidly changing there always something new to learn , and I believe this channel is one of three or thore that I regularly watch were I can learn . I don’t pretend to be a super duper electrician, I know there is much more for me to learn . Yes sometimes I may correct you or tell you that that’s is wrong but only when I think it’s necessary and I know I am right. So keep the videos coming and I will keep watching. It gives my brain a good work out .
