Replacing new 2 gang light switch

[charlielewis246]

Hello,

Would someone be able to help me with where each wire goes in these new plates as I’m unsure. (The earth cable is currently in the back box) old socket and new socket photos attached

Many thanks

Your new switch does not have a LOOP conection, so you will need to get a bit of insulated terminal block (choc block) and put the two blue wires in there.

Then move the brown wires that are in the COM conection to the COM1 terminal on the new switch and the short loop to COM2.
The two brown wires that are in the "1 Way" terminals on the old switch go to L1 1 and L2 1 respectively

The new switch needs to be earthed. The earth conductors that are currently terminated in the mounting box need to be connected to the earth terminal of the switchplate ,with a flying earth wire linking between the switchplate and mounting box earth terminals.
