I've got the following
Pull switch (3 terminals)
1 = 1 x Black & 1 x Yellow
2 = 1 x blue , 1 x red
3 = 1 x red

Light (3 blocks of terminals)
1 = 1 wire to light, 1 x black, 1 x black
2 = 1 x red, 1 x red, 1 x red
3 = 1 wire to light , 1 x black

Cable into switch box
1 x yellow
1 x blue
1 x red
1 x earth

Switch
L1
L2
Com
earth (I know this one !!)

Which of the wires goes where to the L1 / L2 / Com terminals ?
Many thanks

More info please

Is this a new or existing circuit? Have you taken it apart and now cant get it to work?

Are those two switches related in some way (like are they supposed to be both controlling the same light).

In all those items, please state how many cables are coming into each box/switch and which wires are in each cable.

eg, you've got a pull switch with 5 wires. I'll bet you've got a 3 core cable and a 2 core cable but I cannot tell (from here) which red goes with the yellow & blue.

Edit: my guess would be

Switch
L1 = Blue
L2 = Yello
Com = Red
earth (I know this one !!)
