Please can someone assist me regarding an issue with replacing existing light switches in my bedroom with new ones (already purchased).
There is main single switch at the bedroom door which controls the main bedroom ceiling lights. The wiring was as follows:
red wire to COMMON terminal red and yellow to L2 terminal Black and Blue to L1 Terminal
This switch was replaced (with what I presume is a like for like switch entilted 10 amp single 2 way). The other light switch involved in the circuit is a double (i will describe this later but essentially it will also control the main ceiling lights in addition to two wall lights on the dorma window)
As i have stated the above single switch was replaced with terminals matched like for like, it was demo'd and did switch the main ceiling lights on and off. (I did not try the wall mounted double switch at this stage as it had not been changed so I am unable to tell you if the double switch operated in the same way as it has done after the main single switch changeover.
I then proceeded to change the double switch for something which was like for like visibly on the front and back two switches on front and on the back double the amount of terminals there was on the single one. The new double switch is a 10 amp double 2 way the connection transposed from the original double switch are again below
L1 Yellow L2 Blue
