One Gang Switch For Multiple Lights

Previously I have written about how we go about doing the electrical layout for multiple light points using individual switches to control each light separately. However there are many instances where we want the convenience of switching on all the lights in certain part of our premises all at once. This is especially so when we are using down lights or flush-lights in our dining hall or living room. Most of the time we have at least 4 lights switched on together. This can be achieved by using one single gang switch for multiple lights. In cases like these we [...] Read more »

Multiple Light Points Wiring Circuit Diagram

To wire up multiple light points is nothing any complex than wiring a single light point. A multiple light point’s circuit works exactly the same as a single light point except for the series looping of the live wire and the neutral wire. The fact that we see more than one piece of live wires in a switch, be it one gang or multiple gang is because of this wire loops. It is nothing more than tapping the electrical supply from the nearest switch instead of running a brand new wire to the mains for this purpose. The same goes [...] Read more »
