Hi, All Sifu here in electrical wiring and light swtiches
I want to add an additional 1 Gang 1 Way light switch below a 3 Gang 1 Way switch and the original 3 Gang 1 Way switch will become a 2 Gang 1 Way switch. Can any sifu here advise it is difficult to do so or it is impossible to do so ?  ORIGINAL SWITCHES :  PROPOSED CHANGED AND ADDITIONIAL SWITCHES :  |

Should be easy but dont you think it is more ugly with the new layout? Personally, I would put the new 1G1Way in the same row (either to the left or right) unless you are running out of space

Agreed with BH idea.. Apart from that, you need to hack a new wiring route for the new switches if the wiring is done according to standard practice..

And, yes it is good idea to put it at the side but on the left side it has no space and it I put it in the right side, how is the wiring works to be ?

You mean I have to hack into the wall above this switch all the way to the main distribution board ?  This post has been edited by woengx2: Jun 3 2011, 11:39 AM |
