Hi wondering if anyone could help, I have 3 kitchen lights and want the middle one away now, I’ve just identified the middle light cable from light switch so I’ve disconnected it. Thing is where I’ve disconnected the cable from it’s a 2 gang 3 way switch. Now that I’ve done away with middle light I’m looking to change above switch into 1 gang 2 way switch. My new switch is marked up L1 L2 L3, could anyone help how and where wires from old switch would go into new switch. Thanks
 
Just swapped everything from old switch (2gang) to new switch (1gang) 1L1 into L1 L2 into L2 & L3 into L3. Switch at either side of kitchen doesn’t turn of lights now
 
Sorry for re posting as I noticed that I originally posted this a while ago in the wrong thread
