So in my front room I have a bunch of spot lights, and a 2 gang switch. 1/4 of them are controlled by one switch the rest by the other. the old owners had a dimmer switch installed but not the correct size box, so it hung off the wall, I don’t like dimmers anyway. So I got a new switch. Below are photos of where the wires were fitted to the old switch. And a photo of the new one, I copied the L1s and L2s but only one brown wire, so whatever com side I put that in. The lights work, but the rest do not, so I need a different switch? Or am I missing something obvious?
