Swap dimmer switch to normal

[Frank1990]

Hi,
I want to swap a dimmer switch that has been in since we moved into the flat and I find quite pointless/ buzzy/ incompatible with hive bulbs.

This is what is behind the panel. What do I need to buy to make this a straight swap ? Can the two wires into each switch and the wire into the panel be straight swapped?

Thanks

Just a Two Gang Light Switch

So I could just buy this? Isn't it just the front panel tho?

2 gang light switch mate, simple like for like.

The red is your COM the live feed in, the jumper is the distribution of the mains in to the other switch, the blue and yellow are the out path and go to the actual light itself

In this drawing your reds go into the COM (or C) and your yellow and blue go into the L1 of each switch.

yes you could but the front metal plate would require to be earthed as your other one is. Plastic dont.
