Garage light Wiring

Hi all, I will say thanks in advance for any help i recieve and my problem is this.

I have a basic understanding of wiring and i recently wired up my whole garage with 6x two gang sockets also utilising one of them as a spur into the room on the other side of the wall. My next task is to wire up two tube lights on the roof controled by 2 switches (one at one end of the garage, one at the other), with the mains power coming directly out of the consumer unit.

I've had a bit of a brain fart and can't seem to find the diagram i require on the net. would it be possible for somebody to find me/make me a diagram showing all wires (with colour) to each item.

I understand I will require the following items which i am already in possesion of:

1. 2Core+E
2. 3Core+E
   
3. 1 x Junction box
4. 2 x Tube lights and units (already fitted in position)
5. 2 x 2gang switches

I will add a picture of the set up of my garage if it helps.

Thanks again

 

Apologies but I did not make that as clear as I intended, at each end of the garage I want to be able to control each light independently. IE a double switch at both ends of the garage, each controlling one of the tubular lights.

Thanks

 

Sorry to be a pest but any chance you could doctor that circuit using paint and post it so I could see the whole circuit?

You see where the 2 core taps into the 3 core in the diagram, do I use a junction box there or just connect it inside the light?

 

I could probably do it no worries it would just be a lot easier to understand if I saw it on a diagram. I understand the whole dynamics of a ring-main but I wasn't sure if it was the same principle with a lighting circuit?

A ring-main is simple because its 1 cable containing 3 wires, in a socket, out a socket, in/out, in/out all the way back to the consumer unit. I'm just a bit confused because of the different switches and different lights and all working off the same circuit.

 

A separate CU in the garage, 4 way with the relevant breakers for each electrical circuit.

Thankyou for your concern Sean and Rulland but I'll be giving this lighting circuit a whirl anyway I just need to get it straight in my head and all help is greatly appreciated.

 

So I'm making progress, I'm drawing my own diagram then I plan on getting you guys to check it. Bit stumped though, I've seen different diagrams with different set ups and just want to be clear on something.

When I feed the cable directly out of the garage consumer unit from one of my trip fuses does that initial 2core and earth go to the light unit with a 3core and earth coming out of the light to the switch or am I incorrect? If I am right, where do I go from there?

I guess what I'm asking is what is the sequence that the perm live reaches each section?

 

I can see that now mate, Thankyou.

 

And the second light is connected to the 2nd switch, or whichever is closer? Shouldn't matter should it, just be a bit cramped inside one of the switches? Or am I wrong there?

 

Brilliant! Thanks! I think I finally have it, I've done a draft sketch and I think I've cracked it, I'll draw it up properly tomorrow and upload it, see if it looks right to you all. Thanks again!!

 

Now I understand this may be a little confusing but can somebody please check my work to check all wires go to the correct terminals? I understand some colours will be wrong but I used what I had, the basic principle should be the same. Thanks in advance
