Fantastic 2 Way Lighting Circuit Loop At Switch

This is a completed circuit.

2 way lighting circuit loop at switch. Three way switching 2 wires. Just like any loop in loop out radial circuit the switch cable from the ceiling rose contains two wires a permanent live and a switched live. Whether it is the switching of a light from two different places inside a domestic dwelling or switching a series of lights in a commercial environment two way lighting circuits provide a cost effective and easy solution.

Batten and rose light mountings provide additional blank terminals used to join loop wires. 2 way switching means having two or more switches in different locations to control one lamp. The main method of wiring lights is to use the loop at the light method.

Either two single core or one double core. The active is directed from a loop terminal to the switch via one conductor. Two way switch can be operated from any of the switch independently means whatever be the position of other switch on off you can control the light with other switch.

Let s assume the load you are controlling is a light. Usually the third wire passes the middle intermediate switch but is joined in a separate terminal block. Two way switching is the most common requirement for many household and commercial lighting solutions.

The out cable continues to the next light. Lighting circuits loop at the switch. The principle is exactly the same as when looping at the ceiling rose or using a junction box.

This is cable c below one wire connects to l1 and the other to l2 on the top switch. Three way switching 3 wires. By wiring a 2 way switch the circuit below shows the basic concept of electricity flow to the load.
