Hi, I recently installed a smart light 2 gang 1 way smart switch. The two lights in question turn on. However on one of the 2 way lights I have spotlights and only one spotlight out of 4 comes on. Previously all 4 turned on. Any advice?
Hello,
I wish to replace the old 2 gang switch pictured, with the smart switch pictured.
Am I right in thinking that all 3 reds wires would need to go in L.
Then the lower left black wire can go in L1.
And then the pair or black wires (from the bottom right) can go in L2?
Many thanks.
