Hello, my problem is probably easy to sort but its got me baffled.
Theres a single light switch in the kitchen,and a double in the dining room.
Id like to swap the double for a single, but the wires are a puzzle to me.
The double has two blocks with two terminals each on top and one each at the bottom.There are two cables wired to it (A&B).
This is hard to explaine. The left hand block as viewed from behind has a black wire at the top from cable A, there is also a red wire linking both blocks at the bottom.
The right hand block has the red wire from cable A at the bottom and a black and red from cable B in separate terminals at top. Earth wires from A&B are connected to the earth terminal in the box in the wall.
The single switch block has a black wire at top, the earth is in the box, but the red is just hanging. Theres a separate red cable at the bottom.Im not sure where from. PLEASE can someone help me sort it !
