TWO WIRE - TWO WAY LIGHTING - INTERMEDIATE LIGHTING - 3 WAY AND 4 WAY - SWITCH POSITIONS AND MORE

There are several methods for wiring up lighting circuits and for many years the wiring styles were not formalised. The result of this is that we may come across many different wiring methods in our work.
Understanding how these different methods have been used for one way lighting, two way and intermediate lighting will make working with these circuits easier and safer.
Confidence in how the circuit is wired means that repairs, changes, or additions to the circuit can be carried out safely and efficiently. Learn these different methods and add them to your mental toolbox.

Thanks again for taking th time to share your knowledge - as you say "it really is appreciated". You explaing things in such detail and use great graphcs , it makes it easy to learn.

Thanks for watching. Lots more to come. If you're in Carrbridge, I stopped in the Carrbridge Hotel late last year, on my way to a job on Lewis. Great steak, good beer. Dave.

Thank you very much, I learnt something new today.

[@learnelectrics4402]

Thank you so much. Great to know that the video has helped. Thanks for watching and lots more to come. Dave.

Loved it thank you.

[@learnelectrics4402]

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.

Another great video. I really like the way you deliver your content. Excellent teaching. (Electrician/Electrical Teacher - From Jamaica)

[@learnelectrics4402]

Thank you very much Courtney, glad you found the videos useful. By all means, spread the word amongst your students. If we can help them learn - that's great. Dave.

[@abdoaiman]

Another great & appreciated job.. Spot on dave

[@learnelectrics4402]

Thank you and thanks for watching. Dave.

[@danielteyehuago1633]

Wow! This is very informative, thanks for sharing it with us. It worth it

[@learnelectrics4402]

Glad it was useful. Dave.

I was taught this method in college but I must admit I always dropped it in favour of the 5 wire method!
Great vid as always though Dave!

[@learnelectrics4402]

Different advantages with each method Andy. With older circuits you could across anything.
Hope you're keeping well. Dave.

[@TitchgamerRG]

@@learnelectrics4402 all good here Dave thanks hope you doing better now its warming up!
But yes they all have their uses :)

[@mahamadnazeeh]

Thanks a lot😃 you are brilliant

[@learnelectrics4402]

Nice comments, thank you.

[@tjalerkon3680]

Thank you so much. Do we need timer switch for dimmable light circuit. could you explain it too

[@learnelectrics4402]

Various timers are available, check with your wholesaler on the types that suit your needs, Thanks for watching. Dave.

[@brianhewitt8618]

👍

[@learnelectrics4402]

Thanks Brian, always appreciate you being here. Dave.

[@LordLorenzo834]

Is there a reason why this isn't the preferred method for 2 plate 2 way wiring, all the videos on CZcams including your own usually show the method with 3 core and cpc between switches this just adds more cables and more complication ?

[@learnelectrics4402]

The biggest difference is that the permanent line input and the switched line output come from different switches. The more modern methods use a twin and earth to the same switch as permanent line and switched line. good question, thanks. Dave.

[@danielteyehuago1633]

I'm here again

[@learnelectrics4402]

Always welcome Daniel. Thanks.
