[QUOTE="Mr Sworld, post: 13504, member: 184"] The 'C' is the 'Common', this is where your live (red or brown wire) goes into, the '1' and '2' are where the switch live comes out into the light fitting. Note that the switch live uses the neutral colour (black or blue). Generally wiring into '1' turns the light on when the switch is clicked 'down' but if the switch turns on the 'other way round' just swap the wire from '1' to '2'. If the switch is completely plastic you don't need a earth to it. Just terminate the exsisting earth in a little 'choc-bloc'. [/QUOTE]
