Hi
I'd like to remove a second light switch for the ceiling light in my room as it's right up high on the wall and useless really!
I've attached photos of the main switch by the door, and the three wires of the other switch (sorry I unwired it thinking that would work and forgot what went where)
On the main switch can I just hook it up like a normal one way switch, red to COM and black to L1 and keep the earth connected to the socket case?
Then if I just disconnect the grey, brown and black wires at each end then the second switch would be disconnected and it would just be a cable in the wall between the switched that wasn't live right?
Am I allowed to do this?
I will be filling the hole where the second switch is and I'm worried about leaving wires in the wall, although I'm almost sure they won't be live which is why I'm checking.
Thanks
