    The door switch and the bedside switch control the room lights are called double switches, and both switches are double control switches.

    If you want to connect a socket next to the switch at the head of the bed, you need to connect five wires.

    If the head of the bed is just a switch, only three wires need to be connected.

    If only two wires are connected to achieve dual control, there is a condition, that is, there must be a neutral wire in the junction box of the bedside switch, and the wire of the lamp is passed through the junction box at the head of the bed. Or that is, there should be a live wire in the junction box of the bedside switch, and the wire of the lamp is passed through the junction box at the door.

    If only 2 cables are connected to the head of the bed, in order to achieve individual control, there must be conditions: the lamp is divided into two ways, which can be controlled by two switches.

    If there is no live wire, you can connect the socket live wire, but the neutral wire should also be connected from the socket, otherwise the socket will trip if the leakage protector is connected.

    The following picture is for reference: three threads are worn in the middle.

    This wiring is also three (take power from the outlet).
