In my living room I currently have a single light which is controlled by a single switch.
I have put in a number of halogen lights which now all trigger off the single switch
I am looking to put some X10 control onto these lights such that there are two circuits: Circuit 1 controls 3 lights & Circuit 2 controls 2 lights.
I am more than happy about how to convert the single circuit to 2 with the X10 moules turning on the lights but I would also like the old light switch to still work i.e. flick the old light switch and it turns on both circuits
The bit I am struggling on is how to wire this is that if you put the switch to both circuits then it will cause a short on the X10 modules thus turning all lights on when either X10 circuit is switched on.
Is it just a case of using the switch to turn on relay triggered feeds (thus isolating each circuit? If so would some normal 240V 3A ones be OK? i.e.
Is there a way of doing this keeping the main dimmer with the capability of dimming all lights?
[2 Light Circuit = 100W] [3 Light Circuit = 150W]
