I want to change the switch on the wall with two buttons, but the circuit diagram on the one that I've bought looks different then the one that is installed correctly. The one that I've got is called 2 way 2 gang switch.


Current system(along with the circuit diagram) looks as below, it has L going to "bottom left", and the two different appliances(ceiling lights) wires goes to bottom right(marked with down arrow) and top left(marked with up arrow) respectively.

The circuit diagram that I've got for the new switch(Please see below) is completely different(I'm not even sure if that's the switch that I need).

Can you please tell how to wire such a switch?

I don't recognize the switches you are using. Where are you located? Is your voltage 240V to ground or 120 Volts to ground? (Europe/U.S.A.)

Can you get me the model numbers of the switches, please?

Hi donf... thanks for your reply.

I'm located in Sweden.. the voltage here is 240V to ground.

The new one is this (https://www.clasohlson.com/se/Str%C3%B6mbrytare-kron-utanp%C3%A5liggande-Cotech/36-5534)

From looking at the schematic on the back of the "Egant" housing, it looks as if this switch supports a Line 1 and Line 2 connection points.

It also looks as if you can have as many as 4 outputs (two per output). Do you have a two or three wire feed? Just guessing (I don't have an electrical specs page to look at) if you only have a L1 and Return then you can just use the L1 connection and feed both appliances off the two connection points for L1.

I'll keep digging for a schematic (English) version to make sure I reading the box correctly. Here in the U.S. we get connection specs in the box with the switch or on the packaging of the box.

From what I see, L1 will simultaneous feed two connection points. So if you connect two switched circuits to L1 both will operate as one. If you need the two circuits to operate independently of each other, the L1 connection can feed one of the circuits and L2 can feed the other.

If you only have one feed wire L1, then you can connect two jumpers from the one feed. Connect one to the L1 connection and the Other to the L2 connection. Now you have a supply to each of the possible switch outputs.

Can you look at "https://www.clasohlson.com/uk" and find the switch in that catalog and send me the model of the switch to me.

I can't seem to get your page translated to English. Dirty words!!

The UK website unfortunately doesn't have this product available.

Also, I only have one available feed L1, which as you pointed out will require me to connect two jumpers to feed the appliances independently of each other.


Connecting jumbers would be a little messy for me to handle by myself, so I'm thinking of getting a new system where one feed connects to both the circuits, I'll give it a try to find one at the warehouse.

Thanks a lot for the help :)

You are very welcome. Sorry I could not nail down the connections for you.

From what I see in your Pics it does not look to me that you have the space to connect two feeds off your single supply line, unless you could do that under the switch.

The actual creation is rather simple. Just use a wire nut large enough to accommodate three wires. Strip off the ends of the two wires for the switch, twist them together with the supply line and then cap them off.

Now you have two wires that you can connect to the switch with.
