[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 552412, member: 28452"] Referring to your wiring drawing: The right hand 3 core of the double switch is the cable to the single switch, forming the two way circuit. If you don't want two way switching you can just remove the single switch and that cable. Move the live strap link to the common, and your double switch is now just two simple on/off switches. The centre 3 core is supplying power down the red core, The blue core is neutral and the yellow is the switched live to the garage light. If you want to use the old single switch to control the garage light, then connect the red core of the old two way cable to the red core which is supply and the yellow core to the yellow core which goes to the garage light. Insulate and stow the unwanted blue core. [/QUOTE]
