Can anyone point me to a wiring diagram for setting up my interior lights with 2 toggle switches. I want a switch at the front of van at slider and a switch at the rear of van near bed controlling the same lights. This seems like something straight forward but for the life of me I can't get my head around it (been a long day!). Google searches are not helping

You will need the right switches to begin with. on/on is the configuration and 3 pins. Connect centre pin of one switch to supply from fuse. Connect centre pin of second switch to + feed to lights. Connect two outer pins of switch one to the two outer pins of switch two.
Thanks @travelvolts , I stumbled across the how to on your site after I posted this. It is indeed as simple as I had thought it would be but was getting a lot of conflicting info via google. I'll pick myself up some switches and get my lights installed. They have been sitting in the box since I bought them from your site
Yes that's the problem with Google, it takes it's info from a worldwide pool of knowledge and terminology can be very different in other countries! You can use CBE MCD1N switches if you after that matching look.
Thanks Martyn, I ordered a couple of simple round on-on rocker switches there which should be fine. I'm trying to avoid using CBE switches in the van. Going to connect all my 12v kit that I got from you via a switch panel from this site Campervan Motorhome Caravan Boat Horse Box Switch Panels. 12V and 240V - Home
Double check the quality of the wiring on that thing before you connect anything up! I have seen a few and they not the best!
Ahh that's not good to hear. Any better alternatives you can recommend. Just trying to get a modern look. I just feel that CBE type fittings don't look modern (no offence anyone! Just personal opinion). Haven't ordered anything from there yet
TBH I haven't seen anything at a realistic price that I would recommend.
Martyn, since I have you here just wanted to ask, would the 25cm led strip light you sell be suitable for mood lighting or is it mega bright? I am going to use the led disc lights I got from you as my main lights but want some mood lighting for when my wee man is sleeping so that me and the Mrs can still see in the van. Originally thinking blue led but could live with white. When I check eBay and the like it's hard for me to tell what's quality and what's cheap Chinese chaff
They're not mega bright and also can be rotated so you could face it to the wall to reduce the light even further, bounce it so to speak.
