Replace 2 gang dimmer light switch for a standrad 2 gang switch

Poppycat

Hey guys we have a two switch dimmer switch which operates independently two lights in two rooms (fig 1) click on thumbnails to see larger image

Fig 1



At the rear of the switch is below (fig 2)

Fig 2



We got a new 2 gang switch but we cant figure out how to wire as its labelled differently. Figure 4 new switch In fig 2 some of the cables (blue and yellow have a red bit of plastic on it) I assume that indicates something



The earth is already connected to the housing of the switch fig 3



I have searched net and diy book but we cant find any idea which cable goes to which connection. Thanks for any help

We are doing this because we want to fit low energy candle bulbs in the lights, thanks for nay help

the connection with the twin reds is the feed to the switch,the short red is a link wire to take the feed to the other switch.make sure you switch off at the fuse before starting,put the double red into one of the com connections with the short link wire into the other com,then put the blue and yellow into each of the 1 way connections
