Hello everyone,
I am currently listing the electrical outlets, switches, etc., needed for each room in our new build.
In the bedroom, there will be a ceiling light that can be switched on or off from the bedroom entrance, as well as from the left and right sides of the bed.
There is a bedside lamp on each side of the bed.
I am still considering whether to have the bedside lamps connected to a switched outlet or controlled by a wall-mounted light fitting with a dedicated switch on the left and right sides of the bed.
What wiring setups do I need?
1 x intermediate switch (or double-pole switch) for the ceiling light, or is a two-way switch enough (entrance, left side of bed, right side of bed)
2 x simple on/off switches for the bedside lamps.
Is it possible to use a series switching system (rocker switches) on both sides of the bed to switch each bedside lamp on and off from the bed, as well as to control the ceiling light on and off?
Electrical work was never really my strength ^^
Thank you very much
