Hi , I have just taken off an old double light switch, replacing with new , and yes wires do no match the new c L1 L2 c L1 L2config.
Downstairs hallway.
Has the 2 gang switch.it has two grey sheathed cables cable 1 and cable 2.One is for a one way switch to hall light using cable 1.
Red common, black to L2, and earth to casing buttress.(this works fine)
The second switch,on the same gang, has to be two way going upstairs to the landing single switch .Cable 2 , entering the two way switch downstairs,has red , black and earth the switch only appears to be red, black and earth.
Upstairs single switch, has red black and earth also.
Could you advise on how to wire the switches please , previous postings show different situations as I understand them .
Many thanks
