[QUOTE="joniemaximus, post: 490814, member: 32206"] The blocks on the back of the swi tch are distinctly separate so i don't think i'm reading them wrong (although i'm not naive enough to know that for sure) but i will check. Although even if one was the wrong way up it would still go through both switches (i've attached a crude drawing) My thought was the same as Evans, that if i operate the switch on the right it would stop the light working when the switch on the left was in the correct position but it doesnt appear to. I'll take pictures of the ceiling rose and both switch tonight to see if that can shed some light on it. [ATTACH]10325._xfImport[/ATTACH] Thank you for your help (and patience) [/QUOTE]
