Hi,
I am trying to replace a lightswitch but have run into one small problem which isn't helped by the fact the lighting setup is a bit weird so hopefully I'm able to explain the setup correctly.
In the lounge there is a two way switch which operates either of the lights in the lounge. One of the switches must be on in order for the other lounge light to turn on, and this also has to be on in order for the hallway light to turn on.
The plug socket I'm replacing has the following connections, L1, L2 and Common where as the new one only has 2 x L1, 2 x L2 and 2 x L3. Will this replacement socket work because I'm struggling to figure out what should be plugged in where. The cables that are available to plug in are 1 x blue, 1 x red and 1 x black with a short red cable that was bridging the "common" connection on the old socket.
Hopefully I have explained this correctly, I'm finding it very confusing
