I am fitting a waterproof light switch to two exterior lights. My switch has three terminals numbered, L, 1 and at the bottom 2. All my wires are brown, blue and yellow/green. Which go where?

Have you contacted building controls as this work comes under part p of building regs, or is this replacing an old switch?

Brown to L, blue to either 1 or 2: if incorrect switch will be upside down.You may find marked on the switch" for 1 way use 1 or 2, if so follow that instruction.
Blue should be sleeved/flagged as a brown.
green/yellow in a dummy terminal, which may be in the mounting box.

\\\\thanks for the replies. Got it sorted now. Brain must have been out of gear and could not remember what went where.
