In this video we look again at a lighting circuit using the 2 plate method and I explain the connections within the switches for 2 way switching (2 way switching). The 2 plate method takes the feed (supply) to the switch and is often used in installation that have lots of downlights fitted (LED). I show you how to wire and connect up a 2 ways switches when the circuit is wired using the 2 plate method. The 2 plate method is a very common wiring method used on site so it’s important appreciate electricians and trainees understand it.
This video will show you how to convert (change) a 1 way switched lighting circuit into a 2 way lighting circuit.

Fantastic video, I get how taken the feed to the switch makes for less cable at the lighting point when installing down lights, I just don’t like it I think it’s a throwback to the 40s/50s As two way switching doesn’t anyone us the loop in that method anymore? I was tort to take two three core two way switch cables from the lighting point to each switch and link the yellows /greys with a connector block at the lighting point, can also use the junction box method. Anyone who doesn’t learn from GHS videos should rethink their career path . Gaz makes it so simple and easy to understand and learn. But who am I to argue i’am just a humble spark who’s opinion means nothing, Fantastic video Gaz as always 👍👍👍👍❤️

Hi Gaz, love your videos, your training is effortless and so informative. My question is: is it more commonplace, especially in new builds for the feed to be in the switch and not the rose? Thinking on my ‘60’s property, all the feeds are in the ceiling. I have a marine electrical background so I enjoy your videos which give me a domestic understanding to enforce and build on my maritime electrical knowledge. Thanks.

Great video thanks for sharing. I wanted to know understand how this setup could be extended to work with a 2 gang switch where the second switch is 1 way. I have the 2 way working and thought all you would have to do is connect the permanent live to the second switch common and L1 to the SL on the ceiling rose. Whilst the 1st switch wit 2 way works the second switch only works when the first switch is also on. Any suggestions on what needs to be changed or a wiring diagram for this type of setup?

Hi Gary, I love your very instructive videos. Can I ask a question on two way circuits please? I have a double gang switch that has an extra terminal on one of the gangs with two L1. There seems to be a short cable link to the other gang which is for a simple outside light. I'm just a DIYer so I don't know how to describe the unit to order a replacement? Thank you, Mike
@shamraizmumtaz4554
@shamraizmumtaz4554 5 месяцев назад
Awesome explanation! Thanks alot. I have one question... so i have a two gang switch that controls two seperate lights. I have loop in and loop out at the switch and I have a small link wire connecting both the commons together feeding both the lights. If in my case I would like to make one of the lights in this two gang switch have a seperate switch controlling it in a different location... how would you go about doing this? A three core and earth would be needed but if the black wire is placed in Common of the light switch then would the small link wire between the two commons still allow the other light to work? I would really appreciate your help.

I'd draw the the circuit diagram with sw1 and sw2, L1 and L1 terminals link together with the brown wire is the permanent line terminals, L2 and L2 terminals link together with the grey wire line,is the switch line terminals. The common terminals is link together with the black wire line.

Hi Gary, Nice video. Would it not be easier if BS7671 gave a regulation on an industry standard colour sequence for a two way switch instead of each individual electrician using their prefered colour for common and L1/L2. It might save a lot of confusion if everyone terminated the switch the same way useing the same colours.

@dansheppard2965
@dansheppard2965 2 года назад
Trying to work out how the wiring leads to the switch function, the best I can come up with is this. Is this right? You've got the permanent line at one, non-common terminal on both switches, and the outgoing line to the lamp on the other. To light the lights, you need to bridge between L1 and L2. You can't do that directly at a single switch. All each switch can do is either connect permanent line onto common, or else common to the lamp line-conductor. So you need one switch doing one job (permanent->common: "up", say) and the other one doing the other (common->lamp: "down" say). So you need one "up" switch and one "down" (switch). Whenever you flip a switch and the lamps are off you change from a state where they're both up or both down (and so the lamp not lit because both switches are either connecting permanent to common [which goes nowhere] or common to lamp [and common is floating]) into an up/down combo (and so the lamp lit [permanent->common, common->lamp]). Or else you've turning it off, and it's the same argument in reverse. (And the up/down is obviously arbitrary at each switch, anyway). I've got that straight in my head, I think, but is there an easier way to think of it!?

Just to say, that having the neutral in the switch back box with 2 plate method is good for keeping the luminare fittings free from congestion, but also useful if fitting a smart light switch. However, if fitting a strapper to allow two way switching, you can only buy 3 core and earth flat pvc and so will not have a neutral in the new switch for a smart switch. You can of course buy 4 core and earth in round pvc but then you will be lacking in continuity of materials used!!!
@JasperJanssen
@JasperJanssen 2 года назад
You only need to have neutral in one of the switches, because you don’t need to be able to smart switch at both locations.

Hi Gary, Q for you if you don't mind? I thought I'd seen this somewhere in a presentation of yours the other night but now can't find it! - argh! I need to continue the feed to a simple single light and on/off switch but......... taking the feed out of a 2-way switch. As per your instruction I have Black as Common and Grey and Brown of the incoming 3-core in L1 & L2. From here I want to feed a switch just nearby. So to which terminals do I take my 'twin & earth' cable to the next switch please........?! My (Geordie!) logic tells me connect into the Black in the Common of the 2-way switch and the Blue (now I'm struggling!) into the Brown (L1 or L2) of the 2-way switch. Is there going to be a loud POP! doing this - sadly no RCD's here just plain old fashioned exploding block fuses I fear...... I await your kindly guidance please?!
@rayc1503
@rayc1503 2 года назад
Did you manage to sort it? You will only be able to continue the a loop out if you have a neutral present in your existing switch. Best practice would be to take the loop out from your main ceiling pendant or using a junction box otherwise.

Huh. So you’re connecting L and SL onto the two runners. Standard hookup over here would be to connect live to the common terminal, and connect the switch live to the wire coming back from the other common terminal. Obviously without connecting the two together. The two runner wires from switch to switch are the wires held in common for 2 or 3+ switching point setups, and only connect directly to switches. Apparently your variant is allowed, and is known as a conductor-saving scheme, although in this variant of cable routing it doesn’t. And then there’s apparently the “French variant” which is not allowed here (maybe still allowed in France?) and which puts two switches, each switching between live and neutral to make a switched live, and then put the load between those - so depending on the configuration of the switches, an “off” position could be either N-N or L-L, making changing lightbulbs something to do very carefully…

Why is the 3 core & earth used and not the twin core & earth.

I must be 2 way switch illiterate, I have watched dozens of these tubes, for some reason, I just can’t get my head around how a 2 way switch works. To make matters worse, I was a gas engineer for almost 20 years. 🙈

Same old story. A way of describing a method of work is used for years, then someone decides to confuse thing. Instead of junction box , we will call it 2 plate . And loop in , let try 3 plate . And while we’re at it , earth connection let start calling it a CPC. Who make these decisions, probably the same moron who thought it was a good idea to change LIVE RED to BROWN
