South hams hunter 8,837 Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 And assuming neither light has a second switch you put the 2 neutrals into the 2 coms and then the corresponding live in the 1 way below it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

robbo 802 Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) You don’t put the neutral in any of them. lives only into that switch. If you have a live and neutral feed in and a live and neutral out to each light you need to put all three neutral wires in a separate strip connector. The live feed in goes into the common and you also need to link common to common with a short piece of wire. You then put a live from one light feed into the left hand L1 and the other live into the right hand L1. I will draw you a diagram if you need it. Those switches are a pain in the arse because of the neon. you can just remove it if it’s not necessary to you. Hope this helps Edited to say.
