How to wire a two-way light switch.

I know there's plenty of different ways to wire a light switch.
But this is the way I've been taught how to do a 2 way. I thought I'd share that with you guys. There will be people with different opinions on how to go about it.
Just remember, if you're doing this, I recommend using an electrician and be safe.

I would say the last drawing is soooooo clear that I finally understand and will never forget. The explanation at last is the gold!

Thanks, man. I really appreciate that, I think I better do a 3 way switch next

As an Australian electrician, I really enjoyed watching this video. Keep up the good work.

If the control and feed wire are at the same switch, I personally match all 3 cores of the strap to both switches and put the feed into terminal 1 and the control into terminal 2. That frees up the loop for the neutral. If the feed is at 1 switch and the control at the other then use only 2 cores of the strap in 1 and 2, the feed in the common by itself at 1 switch and the control in the common by itself at the other switch.

@@_nztradie I’m enjoying your TikToks too 👍. I haven’t done solar as I specialise in diesel central heating etc so already have my plate full for now but really enjoying your content.

Can you please make a video on how to convert this wiring to a smart switch ? I can make a video of what I've got at my house. Its a bit tricky to convert this 2 way switch wiring to a smart switch 2 way.

[@_nztradie]

@Samfromauckland yea, what do you have?

[@Marklocky]

Great video mate cheers! Just with the yellow tps, do i have to use that for 2 way or can i just use some extra lighting cable i have??

[@1Odama]

What's that makita tool called mate ?

[@_nztradie]

DT022 is the code from makita.
It's a screw gun or battery screwdriver

Brilliant!!! Had a dimmer switch, wanted to replace it with a single switch. I had removed the dimmer and the wiring wondering why I had so many wires x 9. Then realised it was a two switch set up and couldn't remember where the wires came from. Simple video to follow and sorted first time. thanks for the great video.
