I bought two light switches at Mitre 10 when I was last in Auckland, as I like their look and feel and want to install them in my home in Toronto. I am looking for some schematics for the light switch itself. I read the above posts and understand there are 4 contacts in the switch: 1, 2, C, and Loop. Cheers! |

It's intended for joining two or more wires which need to be joined. The "C" terminal is the "Common" of the single pole double throw switch. and "1" and "2" are the two sides. Switch operation gives C-->1 one way, and C-->2 the other way. |
