Double lighting switch problem.

[Ian M Gibson]

Hi, can anyone please tell me where I should put the wires on the new switch? The terminals are different on the new switch. Thanks in advance.

They are the same, except the original switch has the terminals of one switch inverted.
The new switch has them the same way up.

Hi, Thanks for your quick reply. Should I put the red COM to the other COM with the black wire? (Top right). Then L1 (Red) on one side and L2 (Black) on the other side ? Also , where should i connect the top center black wire to ? Should it e connected to the other L2? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Observe each individual switch consists of one COM, one L1, one L2.

Left and right refers to left and white in your pictures, ie looking at the back of the switches.

Put red link wire across both new COM terminals.

Put top right black in new righthand COM.

Put top left red red in new lefthand L1.

Put top middle black in new lefthand L2.

Put bottom right black into righthand L1 (not L2).

If any switches appear to work upside down, let us know.
