I have just purchased some new light switches for my home, once these were removed from the package I could see the new ones were different on the rear compared to what I have now.
I Have wired the new one in but the result is.. The lights turn on backwards, with the switches up, the lights are on, with switches down the lights turn off.
Is this a case of swapping over a wire or two?
This is a 2 gang switch (upstairs/Downstairs)

Yes. The terminals are probably marked C L1 and L2.
Just swop over L1 and L2.
Or simply unscrew the switch and turn it round!
