Going to change light fittings in house, having problems with light bulbs blowing in my house, the wiring in the house in the original, using various colours.

Main problem is bathroom light, In light fitting it has 1 yellow, 2 black and 1 green (earth) also a 1 red which is bypassing this fitting between metal poles.

Light switch is a double light switch which also works hall light. It has 2 red, 2 yellow and 2 blue.

Problem i don't know if this switch is wired up properly.

In the switch that operates bathroom, 2 reds in com and 1 yellow in L2
Hall switch 1 blue each in L1 and L2 and yellow in com. this also operates from switch downstairs.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Have some photos to look at.

It's bad enough that people looking for help pay absolutely no attention to this:

without those providing it continuing to ignore its existence.
