I have just changed my standard light switch to a dimmer switch, it has L1 and L2, I connected the live wire to L1 and now L2 is free.
I now want to create another switch at the other end of the room so that i dont have to run up the end to turn the lights on and off. Im not sure how to do this and would appreciate peoples input.

A CABLE NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED ( 3 CORE + EARTH )
TO NEW SWITCH POSITION.
BUT U R ADDING TO EXISTING CIRCUIT EXTRA WIRING,
AND WOULD BE CHANGING VALUES DIFFERENT TO EXITING ONES RECORDED ON ORINGINAL TEST CERT.
I WOULD RECOMMEND U GET IN ELECTRICIAN TO ADVISE AND TEST 4 U.
