Replacing Light Switch

Hope somebody can help. I have accidently bought intermediate switches to replace one way single light switches.
The one way single light switch has a Comm, L1 and L2 terminals but the intermediate switch has L1,L2,L3,L4 terminals. Can I still use these switches or but 2way single gang switch?
It is currently Thu Nov 21, 2024 5:04 pm
