Hi, I want to change one of my switches it looks to be a single way switch as it only has 2 brass terminals and connects to one ciling light but it has 3 wires and all 3 are red. 2 wires are twisted and go into the same terminal and one wire goes into the top terminal. it is hard to see as i can only pull the switch away by about 1 inch. so do i just undo this switch and swap them over. I have done loads of electrical work but am unsure about 3 red wires i know some have 2 red one black with red tape on but have never seen 3 red. any advice welcome. Thanks

if yoiu are just changing the swich there is no need to worry where the existing wires go.
so long as you put them back same way you will have no probs.
