SWA cable

Seadin

I have a 3 core swa cable outside for outside lights. I have a double switch inside the house one part of the switch is connected to this swa cable the other one is blank.

Do I only have control over outside lights with the one single switch or can the second switch be wired to control other outside lights off the same SWA cable?

I'm thinking no but maybe there's a way around it?

The reason I ask is I would like to control the lawn lights with once switch and the wall lights off the other switch. The way it is, I think I may only be able to operate both set of lights off just one same switch.

See picture. The left switch has the connection to the swa cable. The other switch has nothing connected to it

Of course you can. As long as you have another cable for the lawn lights.

If you use Class 2 Double Insulated Lights there is no requirement for the Earth conductor.So once you sleeve the earth to brown say you can switch both cores to the garden lights.
