My parents have asked me to change over a light switch that a garage repair guy broke removing the old garage door.
they had two switches in one lightswitch. I have just bought a metal two way light switch, but cannot get the lights to work.
in the garage off the old switch was 3 florescent lights and off the other switch was another 3 florescent light switches.
the old switch is totally different design from the new one.
the new switch has 2 COM's at the top and the L1, L2 on the LHS bottom, and then L1, L2 on the RHS bottom, an earth on the cover and anearth on the wall plate. I have 2 x 3 core cable coming in, both with 2 xLive, 2 x earth, and 2 x neutral.
Please can someone tell me how to wire this up.
sorry if it seems so simple to some, but i only have very basic electrical knowledge.
