Light switch wire colours

Posted by Islam Mo, on Fri 01 Mar 2019 10:15am

I’m looking to replace a light switch and the original one has brown, blue and yellow with a green stripe wires. The replacement has brown, red and blue, I would like to know what colour to connect the wires to. Thanks

YOU SERIOUSLY NEED A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TI LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS 2-WAY WIRING AND NEEDS AN SXOERT TO RECONNECT
