Hi Charles, As Russ already told you, it might be better to get an electrician do the job for you. We could explained you what's going on there but the information you gave us it's quite vague. Come back with more details and maybe we can help you. Regards,

Hi Charles Depends. How many switched are on the switch plate? Is it a 2 way? If you are in any doubt get an electrician in. Not being disrespectful but It will be cheaper to get him in rather than attempt it yourself, mess it up and then get him in to sort Thanks Russ
