Recommendation 2 Way Gang Switch

Here at leimove diverse types of electrical switches are available.

2 way gang switch. In position 1 when the switch is down or on com and l1 are connected together just like the one way switch. A two way switches can be used to control light from two positions while a one way switch cannot. In this video you will be guided from installation to the actual wiring and testing schematic.

The next length of the twinearth cable will run from the light to the first two way switch. In position 2 when the switch is up or off com and l2 are connected together. The white wires are wire nutted together so they can continue the circuit.

On the whole 2 or 3 gang switches will always be 2 way switches. A one gang one way switch has clear on and off states while a one gang two way switch does not. Notice the black wire is the only wire that we are controlling through the 2 way switch.

If interested in feel free to contact us. You have an incoming hot wire black going to one screw it does not matter if you use the brass or silver screw on the side of the 2 way switch and a black wire from the other screw on the 2 way switch going to the load light ceiling fan etc. In position 2 when the switch is up or off com and l2 are connected together.

If the switch doesn t work the way you want it to you can either turn the switch around or swap the l1 and l2 terminal. In position 2 when the switch is up or off com and l2 are connected together. This is because if you only need a 1 way switch you can still use it by only connecting one of the terminals l1 or l2 and common terminal.

Each of the gangs or switches above in fig 2 of which there are three work like this fig 3. Two way light switch mechanism a two way switch has three terminals its a little more complicated any useful than it s one way cousin. Each of the gangs or switches above in fig 2 of which there are two work like this fig 3.
