    3 gang light switch, 1 light is 2 way other 2 are 1 way

    Sparks connect the Perminant Live to the Com. I have seen people (DIY and allegedly some sparks) connect the Perm Live to L2 and Even L3. (personally - I think that a DIYer had done them. :roll: ) The usual way is to bring the perm live into the switch connected to switch 1 - then...

    3 gang light switch, 1 light is 2 way other 2 are 1 way

    Installing a metal 1 gang light switch

    Either way, as John sates above, you will have to test the wires to see which is the "Supply" and which is the "Switch Wire".

    Installing a metal 1 gang light switch

    It also sounds as if it was a "Loop In" @ the switch and then the drop (switch wire) is taken directly to the light fitting. Was the two black wires joined together in a "Connector block", OP :?:
