Hi all

It's a one way switch which has 1 gang for the toilet and 1 gang for the hallway. On/off is working correctly on both but the switch closest to the toilet operates the hallway light and vice versa. I'd like to reverse these so the switch closest to the toilet operates the toilet light.

Picture below which isn't the best but the set up is
1 red wire into L1 (left)
1 red wire into L1 (right)
1 red wire into each of the 2 comm terminals and a bridging wire between the 2 comms

Is it simply a case of switching the 2 L1 wires around? Or would I also need to switch the 2 comm wires? Or something else?

I will of course double check the circuit is isolated before doing anything.

Thanks for any help.

Yes - the common is the live supply and the L1 and L2 are from the switch to the lights.
