    Wiring an inline 2 core lamp switch

    Hi, I have wired a 2 core inline lamp switch that has no markings for the terminals but not sure it's correct. There are 2 raised terminals in the centre but each has only one inlet/screw, so I used the terminals at the side but it isn't working. Thanks in advance.
