| Feb 2, 2016 at 20:05 | comment | added | user3775259 | Thanks. I replaced the light and switches but simply kept the same cabling. I think power is coming into the light from what I can see. I have the two switches linked by a red wire in the comm port and yellow and blue in L1 and L2 the same in both switches. I then have a black cable tagged live in L1 of the main switch and the other live red cable in L2. I have one black neutral linked to the light fitting and then the 2 live red cables and 1 black tagged live cable all linked into the live socket on the fitting. All of that seems fitting with a standard mapping from what I have seen? | |
