Hello all
I know very little about electrics, but I am capable of following instructions or at least taking note of how something looked before I fiddled about with it.
I've just had cause to replace a pull switch in our loo downstairs. It's a two way switch, just like the one I replaced it with. I connected the two brown cables to the COM and L1 terminals. I also connected the earth cable to the L2 terminal, just as it was in the switch which preceded it. There does not seem to be an earth terminal on the switch (it's all plastic).
It doesn't feel logical to connect the earth wire as it is right now, but then it also doesn't feel sensible to have it floating around inside the switch.
Would welcome any advice you'd have....particularly if I've wired up something dangerous.
Thanks!
