can I utilise a two way light switch for a one way system by just using the L1 and L2 connections and not using the common connection at all.
 
Common is connected to either L1 or L2 depending upon the switches position. So in a 1 way circuit you use (either L1 or L2) and the common. Wiring L1 to L2 will never make a circuit.

The switch return should alwasy be marked with a red (or brown) sleeve or tape) to indicate its not a neutral.
