Please help! I have just bought a new house and am struggling with the kitchen lights. I have three lights, 2 at one end of the kitchen and one at the other end. There are two 2 gang switches to control these but I have taken them off and can't put them back together and get them to work. At the first switch I have 2 cables with red and black wires (tagged red) and a 2 way cable (blue, yellow, red). The switch for this has 2 switches on the back, each with a common, L1 and L2. The switch at the far end of the kitchen has a red and black cable and the 2way cable. The fitting is an older version, with the diagonal line across the back and the commons on opposite sides of the line. Am I right in thinking that this second switch is wired for one way operation for the single light at that end of the kitchen and 2 way operation of the two lights at the other end? Are the two red/black cables at the first end interchangeable or do I have to give one priority over the other? How do I wire the switches to work?
