kitchen light switch
- Thread starter pctower
- Start date
Whoops taking a light switch off in the early morning while its still dark very silly.
The other light switch for this light should help as long as you don't take the wires out of the as well.
Connect the same colours that are connected to L1, L2 to those connections on the new switch.
N.B. L1 L2 are the same as 1way, 2 way
