Sorry for asking for confirmation of something so basic but:
I am about to replace the light switch in my conservatory. On checking the old switch I find that the connections are not what I would have expected for just a light.
The old switch has L & N connection at the top marked out and L & N connection at the bottom marked in - I believe that this is classed as a double pole switch?
Ideally I want to replace this with a stainless steel switch - can only find them as 1 gang 2 way rated at 10 amp. The total lighting load will not exceed 300watt.
I believe that this type of switch can be used by connecting:
1. Connect both neutrals together via a strip connector
2. Connect 1 red to Common (live feed in)
3. Connect other red to L1.
Is this correct?
