Hi, I'm trying to replace a dimmer switch with a light switch, however the fittings are different. here's the new light switch: I'm guessing the earth cable goes in the circle on the left as the old switch is the same? but not sure where the blue and brown goes as there is...

I changed the red and brown cables around, it's now working like a perfectly. thanks for the help.

is there any chance of it blowing the electric box or electric shocks when switching it on?

I put the other 2 wires into the two empty terminals which it didn't work. if I swap the red and brown wires over and they aren't in the wrong place it could get nasty surely...

It is a new one I'm trying to fit so already has got guarantee. I would put brown to brown then red to the white like the original light but don't want to risk it.

The make of the one I have is Kingfisher, the instructions are crap, nothing like the ones above. I would think the red and brown has been put in the wrong place as that would then match the old light but don't really want to risk messing the wires 2 wires.

Thanks for the reply, I tried putting the brown opposite the red however the light is completely dead.... could what you posted be why? Would it work if I swapped the red around with the brown like the old light?

is it 100% the brown goes into the red? doesn't mention the wiring on the instructions. Thanks

Cheers for your help.

I'll probably go for the cavity insulation as it seems the best. Can you cut the insulation to fit in between the batons? Is it dangerous to inhale the slab insulation like it is loft insulation?

So do you reckon it will be ok to use the 100mm thickness with 3 inch wood? will it not push the plasterboard? Is the slab stuff the best to use? http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/161235?awc=1563_1330271552_d1bf490047e3621f88d4711412b4a921

Thanks for the reply, the only problem is the baton used to build the wall is 3 inches and the slab insulation thickness on Wickes is 100mm which is 4 inches? Any idea if you can get it slightly thinner? Cheers
