Hi I am brand new to the froum and found it trying to get an answer to my question, I have looked at the wiring diagrams but cant find the answer, apologies if it is there and I am being thick.
My questiion is in my cottage one of my bedroms has a wall 1 gang light switch and also a pull cord switch, I think it was for the old dear that used to live here so she could turn it off from bed. I want to get rid of the pull switch altogether but cant fathom the way to change the wiring.
The wall switch has a cable with two red wires one going to L1 and one going to L2 and an earth, and another cable with another red wire wired to common and an earth wire.
The pull cord switch has the same configuration a cable with red wire to L1 red wire to L2 and an earth and a cable with a red wire to common and an earth.
The switches work correctly but on lookng at the wiring diagrams for two way light switches there doesnt appear to be enough wires, can anyone explain how to remove the pull cord switch and have the light operated by the wall switch only.
many tanks in advance.
