Odd, done as suggested (straight swap) and its tripping the main fuses (RCBs??) when i reactivate the circuit breakers for the lights. Any suggestions?

Thanks for you help - and duly noted. Socket=switch. I think you may have answered why i can only turn my tv on from dusk! :lol: :lol:

Wintery afternoon everyone! I am trying to change an old socket in the living room after decorating, but would just like to double check. Both sockets are dual switches (for upstairs and living room lights, non dimmed). The old socket is this From the top left (ignoring the earth)...

Ta very much for that. Seems a sound way to proceed.
