[QUOTE="Ben Rowl, post: 548790, member: 37352"] I have recently had an intermediate switch fitted by an electrician. This had 4 terminals labelled from top left (clockwise) L1, L1, L2, L2 and it worked a treat! I've bought another intemdiate switch to replace this ([URL]https://www.caradok.co.uk/products/screwless-antique-brass-intermediate-toggle-switch-1-gang-the-georgian[/URL]) The new switch has 6 terminals, labelled from top left (clockwise) L1-1, L1, L2-1, L2-2, L2, L1-2. The wiring shown in the picture seems to have deactivated the other switches, they do not seem to control the light any more, only the new intermediate switch controls them. I have tried various combinations and wasted almost a day. I have spent a while researching but just cannot seem to find anywhere that has an intermediate switch with 6 terminals labelled like this. Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated. Thanks Ben[ATTACH type="full"]15915[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]15916[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
