Unsure which light switch I need for shed conversion

Post by Jermur » Mon Oct 17, 2022 12:40 pm

I need to install the lights switches in a shed conversion that has been wired by an electrician. I have attached a photo of the wall plate that has 3 groups of wires in it. 2 have 3 wires and 1 has 4 wires. The other wall just has 1 group of 4 wires. There is 6 wires for lights in the ceiling.

Any advice appreciated

Hi jermur,
You must get the electrician back to finish the job.

Colours mean nothing, I would assume there triple and earth is for two way switching, and the twin and earth on/off.

But I would always test.
