Hi, I am trying to swap a dimmer switch for a regular switch, see images attached but there are a lot more wires than I was expecting!!
Any advice on how to wire up the normal switch please? Do I need all these wires?
thanks for any help

You connect the wires to the new switch EXACTLY the same way they are on the old switch.
Do it tomorrow when its daylight.

To be 100% sure put a small label on each wire, and take another picture (Check the picture is in focus)

Look at your old switch, you have C next to L1
Look at your new switch C is at the other end from L1
But the wires still go in the same name terminal (C and L1) just like they do now.
