New lightswitch for outside light.

Light switch - kitchen and outside light?
Was replacing some light switches and plug sockets in the weekend an the only one which puzzled me was the double light switch for the kitchen light and the outside light.

The switch is made up of 2 MK Grid switches, one for the kitchen light so that is fine, just the usual wires and one for the outside light which has four holes.

These are 2 for supply and 2 for load and an earth. However the switch I bought only has the usual three holes. Any idea how to wire this up? There is 2 live and 2 neutral wires currently.

Any help would be appreciated

The switch for the outside light looks like a double pole switch. If you don't need the double pole isolation, you can join the neutrals together in a terminal block (carefully placing it at the back of the pattress where it won't be damaged or obstruct the switch) and connecting the live feed and switched live to COM and L1 respectively.

And NEVER EVER assume black/blue is neutral at a switchpoint or light fitting.

top right cannot be seen but if its N its a double pole isolator switch

bottom right N
