Hello, I wonder if anyone could help me with this unusual one-way light switch. I have changed light switches before as a DIYer but have never seen one with these markings. As you can see in the photos, there is no L1, COM etc, just 1, 2 & 4. Each number has two places for a wire. So, what goes where?? (It's all plastic, including the backing box)
Huge thanks!

Wiring a new 2 gang switch from a single two way switch.
"It works" and "it's safe" are not necessarily the same thing. With DIY work, they are often far from the same thing.

replacing a dimmer light switch with a regular one
Yes one wire nut will grab a wire but I will suggest an orange one because the wire is 14 gage wire for lighting.
