Hi everyone,
I've recently moved house and have been changing the old out-dated light switches and sockets.
So far all has been good, been changing single and double gang switches.
But today, I attempted to change the switch at the top of the landing - but the wiring had more than the other single switches.
I've attached a photo of the orignal and new, the original had wiring going into "L1" & "L2", but the new has the "L2" blocked out. It just had an L and L1.
When I changed it the light wouldn't turn on (clearly messed it up!) - so I put the old switch back on, and followed the wiring from my "Before" photo and now the switch won't turn the light off!
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thank you
