    I’ve got a combined livingroom/dining area with 2 ceiling lights, there are 2 seperate light switches either side of the room to switch both lights either on or off (cant switch one on at a time).

    My question is how simple is it to make them switch independently on/off?

    Is it as simple as changing the switch to a 2 gang switch? Or is it a bit more convoluted than that? (Wiring etc)

    Quite simple but you’ll have a few holes in your ceiling/wall

    Just put both on and take the bulb out of the one you want to be off. Simples
