Hello, I have two ceiling roses (pendant fittings) in my kitchen and one of them has now become redundant so I want to change having 2 lights to just 1 light, I have 1x 2 gang switch currently controlling each light and I want to swap this to a 1 gang switch for the 1 light that I want to keep. See attached photo. The light I want to keep is currently controlled by the right hand switch looking from the front. I want to just make the left hand cable redundant without having to strip all the wiring out, perhaps just leave it labelled and terminated above the ceiling and at the switch position, if that's possible? Please can you advise how I wiuld reconfigure the wiring within the switch? Regards Matt
Would I be correct in saying to remove the short piece of brown wire between the COMS and then move the longer brown wire from the left COM to the right COM? Then remove the brown wire from the left L1 into a piece of terminal block and leave inside the pattress box?
Take out the link and put the other wire into the com of your new switch, put the wire which is in the bottom of your existing switch into the other terminal of the new switch. Put the remaining wire, which is at the bottom of the left hand switch in the photo into a piece of connector block.
you should also disconnect the neutral and CPC in the switch for the redundant cable if you are going to disconnect it at the light end and push it up leaving it unterminated.
