    Wiring one way light switch

    Hi, I've bought a new light switch and have some basic questions. As you can see from the photo we have old style colour wiring. 1) Red goes into new switch marked L1? 2) Black with red sleeve goes into N/LOOP? 3) Earth stays as it is wired into the metal back box? Thanks
