Circuit - Bedroom - Ceiling Light / Bedside Lamp

You go into the bedroom, turn on the "main light" and turn it off again in bed.

Do you walk to the bed, turn on the light at the bedside table, walk back to the door, turn off the "main light," and then walk back to bed?

No, the main light is rarely used, for example for ironing. When we go upstairs, the bedside lamps are turned on from the door: nice warm light, which is very inviting and cozy. Then to the bathroom... then to the bedroom with the bed lighting.

I also find it more important that you can switch the bedside lamp on and off from the bed and from the door. Get up in the morning, turn on the light at the bed .. then fuss around and leave the bedroom .. and there I want to be able to turn off the bedside lamp at the door.

Additionally, I can also switch the ceiling light on or off from the door and from the bed. It doesn’t hurt, it’s also conceivable to hang a ceiling fan there, which you could then switch from 2 positions, etc.

Now, in the new building, all of this is not a big effort.

Hello, and first of all thank you very much for all the answers. The idea of switching the bedside lamps on and off from the door is probably not a bad one. So either 1x crossover switch and ceiling light to switch on/off from the door and each side of the bed or 1x two-way switch to switch the light on/off from the door and the bed (center) Then 2x two-way switches each for the door and one for each bedside lamp on each side of the bed Basically 5 or 6 switches 3 switches at the door (ceiling light, bedside lamp left, bedside lamp right), 1 switch each on the left and right side of the bed for the bedside lamp and then either 1 in the center of the bed for the ceiling light or one each on the left and right for the ceiling light

Thank you for the idea of switching the bedside lamps from the door. I will take that on. Do you then switch a socket or a "Brennstelle" each time?

That of course depends on the lamp. I shortened the cable (for the power outlet) of a wall-mounted lamp and connected it to a "Brennstelle".

Addendum: If you want to be flexible, tell the electrician to route the switched cable past the socket. Then it could be made switchable later by re-terminating.
