On your existing switch there is diagonal line this represents the division between the two switches. So the bottom switch has L1 on the LHS and L2 and L3 on the RHS, the top switch is vise versa. On your new switch L1 for both switches is on the LHS, and L2 and L3 are on the RHS.

I have to say it comes as no surprise to learn that you find the concept of competence something to laugh at.

My, you are so good at this intelligent discussion business, aren't you.

A real asset to the forum, and no mistake.

Who is doing the winding up?

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Dunno.

I'm certainly not trying to wind anyone up, and sadpatheticfrightenedinadeqautefoolmwatsonxx isn't managing to wind me up. He is giving me a laugh, though, as he thrashes around in his pit of ignorance.

 

[securespark]

What I never understand is your default position where you sling insults at everybody.

 

[mwatsonxx]

Dunno.
