Former Community Member

I have a switch which is looped in through sweet


it has a

L&N into it

L&N out

3 core out to its 2way

switch wire coming out


its current a 1g switch, which is 2wAyed


my question is, 


Is it possible to free up one of these cores in the switch, for a possible new switch wire? I don’t want to damage the walls with chases. 


the switch is currently wired with the brown of 3core into the common

The black and switched live is in L1

The grey and perm lives are in L2

neutrals are in connector

earths also in a connector

    are you asking if you can free up the LN going in an and out ?

    If they both come from the same direction, and assuming you do not need a neutral at the switch for any reason, the neutral junction could be elsewhere, potentially freeing up 2 cores.

    It is not clear from you description if you intend to keep the 2-way functionality. If you do not need this either  you could free up the 3 core as well.
