hello

the old light pull switch in my bathroom has broken and no longer pulls - i have bought a new one - but it looks different inside.

is is just a case of taking the two wires from the old one and connecting them to the new one or is this something more difficult... as no doubt can be worked out from my explanation here i am not an electrician or know much about these things...

any help would be very much appreciated

have attached two photos showing old and new switch.

thanks
sarah
