Hi I wonder if any one could help me on changing a 2 way dimmer switch for a 2way toggle switch for the upstairs landing light and bathroom. I have uploaded a drawing of my dimmer switch wiring diagram and a drawing of the toggle switch which I want to replace it with. The drawings should hopefully shine more light on what I am trying to achieve rather than me explaining it in words. Thankyou in advance. Help is very much appreciated

either my eyesight is going or the pictures are small (yes i cliked on the pic)

you wire it up as it is now.

the only differance is the new switch has termials at the top an bottom

the one at the top of the triangle is common, L1 & L2 are as they are (same) it looks like L1 on the old switch says l1 as opposed to L1 but its the same thing

I think common is called II on the new swicth ( i dont see too well)

on the other half of the switch the common is the one at the bottom of the triangle.

in both cases its at the apex of the triangle
 
Sorry about the picture, It was bigger when I drew it, but for some strange reason its gone small and the coloured wires have changed to grey. Thankyou for you help and I will try what you have explained. Thank you very much
