3 gang 1 way switch to 2 gang 1 way switch

[Shamoo]

Hey all

I'm in need of some help. We moved into our new home a few months ago, and in garden is a summer house. I'm making some modifications to it and need to move a light switch. I'm no electrician, but confident in the basic stuff which you would think this falls into, however. The light switch in question is a 4 gang 1 way. Only 2 gangs are used, outdoor flood light and 1x inside ceiling rose light. I believe the previous owners had bigger plans for it but never got round to finishing it.

I want to keep the light switch to continue working as it does, but on a 2 gang light switch, however it's been wired up in a way that I can't figure out.
I believe the main feed from the consumer unit comes straight into the switch (middle wire), the ceiling rose only has 1x twin & earth, and when i disconnect all the wires from the switch, only the middle wire is live.



This is how its been wired up. Mains feed, live into gang 2 L1. Indoor light, live into gang 1 L2. Outdoor light, live into gang 3L2. All Neutral (switched live?) into a Wago connector. and 3 Coms connected via 3x live wire linking the 3 together



How can i wire up a 2 gang 1 way switch with this configuration?

would really apricate any help

thanks

I am confused, I count 6 cables in one picture, but only three brown wires connected, and it seems the centre switch turns both switches either side on/off so centre switch is a master?

This is what I would have expected to see, with only two switches being used.

Sorry guys, i should have explained better. How do i swap the old 4 gang switch to a 2 gang switch with the wires available?

<----- new switch

The switches are split

as shown. So link the two com terminals and correct to line in, and line out from L1's just like the switches 1 and 3 the wire which did go into middle switch as shown before should go in with com's.

you beauty! worked a treat .. I almost had it correct before, but had the "middle" live in L2 not COM .. makes complete sense now you've shown me..
many thanks
