double pole light switch

I have a double pole light switch - bought in error - to replace the cracked switch in the garage. The new switch has 4 terminals L1, L2, N1 and N2.

Which of these do I use 2 put my 2 wires into? Or can't I use it to replace an ordinary switch? Will I have to put this one in a cupboard and buy another?

This is not a light switch, it's a standard double pole switch intended to switch both 'live' and neutral simultaneously. However, you can still use it for what you want.

Use L1 and L2.

Bit of common sense would achieve the same result too Ding!! :LOL:

Not a standard feature with current evolutionary variant of human though, thank goodness, or I'd be out of a job! ;)
