Light switch different terminals

[scottsumner1977]

I have replaced my landing light switches and have hit a problem with the "middle" switch. The landing light has 3 switches. 1 downstairs, 1 at top of landing and a 3 switch at the end of landing which is a double switch as it also controls bathroom lights.

The old switch has two L1 and L2 terminals whereas the new switch only has one L1 and one L2 and a single COM terminal.

How do I connect my new light switch?

The two brown cables at back of box are connected together with a block.

You need an "intermediate" switch for the middle one and then just copy the wiring.

Thanks. Is there no way of using the current new switch. They don't make any other type in the style and would have to replace all 3 new switches. Thanks.
