[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 388225, member: 1607"] Your two 'Coms' bottom right & top left need to go into your two 'L's on the top picture, these are joined together. The black in the '1way' on the top right of your bottom picture needs to go into the 'L1' right hand side of the top picture The red 7 black in the '1way' & '2way on the bottom left of the bottom picture need to go into the 'L1' & 'L2' on the left hand side of the top picture. Well done for taking a photograph before undoing the wires. Doc H. Sharpend not only beat me to reply. But also pointed out the very important issue of the earth connection that I omitted. does your wiring include an earth conductor. If not do not fit this metal switch. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
