You can use one to easily (and carefully) identify the permanent lives.That's why it's hard working out what goes where as you can't use a multimeter on it easily

That doesn't matter, you can still find out which conductors are permanently live.Under normal circumstances that would be fine and as you say, easy to do but for some unknown reason the 3rd gang has a wire going to it yet there isn't a third light.
Yes.This master socket seems to be wired up weird.
If your lighting circuit is wired with the live loop running through the switches then a lot of the connections at this one could make sense.It may even have the live feeding from the 1st gang to the 2nd gang at the switch rather than the ceiling rose or a junction box.
It's quite likely there's the right number going to the switch. Ignore the links, and you have 4 conductors, either live loop in and out, and two switched outputs, or two normal switch drops. Brown & red would be odd for the latter though. How's the lighting circuit wired? Singles in conduit?I'm looking to change it to a normal rocker switch. There just seems far too many wires for the switches.
Does it look as though a 4-gang could fit on the same sized place? There's a pair of tunnels with no terminals in them.There are only 2 lights even though it's a 3 gang
Might be worth pressing Hamilton - surely somebody there must know how it is connected? Companies like that may make cosmetic changes to products all the time, but often the works soldier on for years.and that's why I can't easily figure out what goes where.
