2-Way Switching in Garage

[Pinderhugh]

Evening everyone. This is my first post so apologies for any errors.

I currently have a single switch controlling a single lightbulb in my garage. It's a bit dark so I'd like to replace it with two battens. While I'm at it I'd like to put a second switch by the other door (so I'm not staggering around in the dark if use the other door!).

I followed some diagrams on this site and on other websites but it's a little more complex as the power feed is into the switch (rather than the ceiling rose). I've attached a diagram of what I plan to do. Can anyone confirm if I've got the circuit right and the colours?

Thanks in advance

A second question: Am I even allowed to do this under Part P?

You can do that, however the junction box is not required, just make the connections at the first switch.

Part P doesn't prohibit anyone from doing electrical work.

Consider led as an alternative to fluorescent
If you have a workbench, one above that, rather than central in the ceiling

Good spot. Thanks.

Yeah, they're led battens. It's a double garage and it currently has a single 60W (or led equivalent) bulb in the middle so pretty dim. I'm putting a 2700lm batten on each side and another above my workbench (I do small electronics as a hobby so lots of light needed).

Another option is run a Twin +E cable from the old lighting point to the new lighting point and

a Three core +E cable from the existing switch to the new switch

Good drawing by the way.

You see. This is why I posted on here. My circuit is so much simpler now and everything on the left of the diagram is already installed. I can get this thing sorted tomorrow if I'm lucky.

Thanks very much for everyone's help.

Follow what 333rocky said.

Much easier.
And job can be Split in 2

Both switches must be 2 way
