Hi

This may be addressed already but couldn't find it.
Have put some smart bulbs into the kitchen.
Great... Until the light switch is flicked... Either one.

What have others done to keep them permanently on?
My set up is 5 separate sets of lights but only one set has smart bulbs.
There are 2 triple light switches in the dining/ kitchen.
One set controls let's say lights 1, 2 & 3 and the other triple light switch controls 1, 4 & 5.
Lights 1 are the 'smart' lights.
Can't change the other lights to be smart because they don't suit the look of the lamp shades....

Would one option be to change the switches to doubles and then wire the light one on either side to a fused spur? Wiring straight would be frowned upon

Thoughts?
