Hi can anyone tell me the best light switch to use on this please I believe it is different to normal 2 way switches says intermediate and numbered 1-4
Can’t find identical switch so thinking normal 2 way switch as pull cord is in room as well which I will replace,
Guessing 1c is common? Then not sure about other 2

doesnt look like an intermediate as there doesnt seem to be a terminal in position 2. it looks like ashley have used the same moulding for a two way as a an intermediate. but a normal two way will suffice in its place

Hi looks like intermediate switch has been used but not needed as only 2 light switches
Switch says intermediate marked 1-4
Thinking I need a normal 2 way but unsure on wiring it with them using the intermediate switch
 
Any 2 way switch is suitable.
The two reds together into Com / common
The single wires into the other two terminals.

Make sure the two reds that are in the same terminal now stay that way - mark them with a pen before disconnecting the old switch.

Hi, and with the new pull cord just make sure that I get the commons correct and as long as I get the blacks to l1 on both switches and the reds to L2 on both switches I should be good ??
