I took the old pull switch down from the bathroom as it was in a mess. I'm moving the switch to outside of the bathroom on the wall as a standard 1 gang wall switch. Inside the old pull switch was 2 red, 2 black and 2 bare (sleeved green) cables. One red (I marked it with black marker when I took the cover off) was connected to the socket marked "2 way common" and the light fitting. The other red was connected to an unmarked socket and the mains supply from my fuse box. The was another socket but with no brass terminal inside it with nothing in it. The 2 bare cables were twisted together, then had green sleeving over then and were connected to the brass terminal inside the housing screwed to the ceiling. The 2 black cables were twisted together and screwed into a terminal block that was just left there.
In the new switch, should the red from the fuse box go to common and the red from the light go to L1? Also, what do I do with the black and green cables in the new switch? Do they go as they were or something else?
