I want to install a dimmer switch instead of an ordinary 2 way. At the back of original switch I have 2 red 2 black earth and 1 brown from com to com. This switch works hall and landing lights. On my new switch I have 1 box terminal for each switch with L1 L2 and~ on both. Could you please tell me how to wire this new switch and the wiring is totally different to my old switch
 
well the ~ is the common then the other two are L1 & L2
so your brown link goes between the ~ terminals with what ever was in with one of them
 
thanks sorry i dont understand do i put red for each light into L1 and black into L2 and make a circuit between ~
 
no, thats not what was typed is it?

the wiring is NOT different, its THE SAME

its the "markings" for the terminals that are slightly differnent.
L1 & L2 are the still there, common is now called squigly line

But i must ask, the existing lights, please tell me they are ordaianiry lamps
