Hi, really need some help please with what I thought would be a simple job!
I'm replacing three switches that control the hallway and landing light, a 1G 2W in the hall, and 2 x 2G 2W, one at the foot of the stairs and another upstairs. Both the 2G 2W switches control the upstairs landing light as well as the downstairs hall light. This is the existing wiring coming out of the wall at each switch:-
Downstairs 1G 2W - 1 x Twin core and earth to the ceiling light and 1 x three core (red/blue/yellow) and earth going to the upstairs 2G 2W switch
Downstairs 2G 2W - 3 x three core and earth - note this wiring has not been touched.
Upstairs 2G 2W - 1 x Twin core and earth to the ceiling light, 2 x three core (red/blue/yellow)and earth, one from each of the downstairs switches
Note:- Although the downstairs 2G 2W switch is still intact, the other two switches have been disconnected so I cannot copy the wiring on those switches
Simple question, can anyone explain to me how they should be wired up to the COM, L1 and L2 terminals in the downstairs 1G 2W and upstairs 2G 2W switches, because it is driving me insane!! Any urgent assistance would be really appreciated as I must get it finished tomorrow.
Cheers
