Just replacing the pull switch in the bathroom that switches on/off the single light fitting. The switch has only L1 and L2 terminals (L3 is 'dummy' with no connection). I'm not quite clear which is 'COM' here. The wiring in just one feed, red is providing the live feed in and black is routing back to the rose to the connection with the light fitting wire (at the rose the black wire has the red sleeve over it).

What is the strictly correct connection here - should live feed in (ie. red wire) connect to the L1 or L2 terminal ?

I guess in this arrangement it would work either way as it's a simple one way switch but I would like to conform to strict correct wiring.

Thanks.

It doesn't matter.

Exactly.


If it were being used as a two-way with the L3 terminal then it would matter.
