Hi all,

I have tried to change my hallway and landing light switches, both metal front plates. I cannot seem to figure it out. The backplate has an l1, l12, l21,l22 and 2 common.

In this case none of the incoming 3 sets of cables are labelled, (below is a picture of the wires.

Please could anyone point me in the right directions, thanks.

Firstly - the switches are two triangles; not top and bottom.

I would think the black wire should go in with the blue as indicated but first
make sure the Red, Blue and Yellow from the same cable go to the same switch.

Is your picture of the new switch ? It must be earthed,and it isn't !
 
Show us the photo you took of the original switch before starting.
 
Presumably the picture is of the old switch??

And you haven't started to fit the new switch yet?

Good. That's a relief.

Before you disconnect the old switch, can you send another photo, showing which WIRE emerges from which CABLE, please.

We'll have this done in no time.
