Can someone help please. I need to replace a hallway socket which is a
2-way switch.

The switch has connections Common, L1, L2
I have wires coloured:

Light brown
Black
Blue (with brown sleeve)
Dark brown
Grey

Which wires go in which connectors?

Many thanks.

Wait a minute -- do you mean you need to replace a socket, or a switch?

That's a 3-way switch.

Ummmm.... you'd better post your question on d-i-y.uk -- most of the people in
alt.home.repair are Americans and Canadians, and our conductor color codes are
*completely* different from yours.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.

On a complicated situation I like to take a photo of it to be sure I get it
back the same way it was. Beyond that, I haven't any idea what you are
talking about.

Absolute nonsense.

It's a simple repair.
