While doing some work in the kitchen I removed the two gang, one way light switch. Having replaced similar switches before I didn't pay enough attention to the origional layout of the wires.
Coming to replace it I found that there is one three core wire, a single core wire and a short peice of joining wire. This previously worked independantly for both light.
I can only think that the red wire from the 3-core, and the single core wires should go to com with the black wire from the three core in L1 with the joiner wire connecting L1 and L1 for both sides of the switch and the earth to earth terminal.
Does this sound right and am I in danger of shorting the circuit if I get the live feed for one light connected to the live feed for the other light rather than the live out
