Are you replacing an existing switch or have you put in new cables for a new circuit.

Hi totally new system

Whilst the forum is happy to assist DIYers with some tasks, for example replacing a light switch it stops at giving step by step advice. Your thread is asking for advice on how to connect a light switch to new wiring so this is verging on step by step. Installing a new circuit or extending a new circuit is more that connect it and see if it functions, you have to consider if existing earthing arrangements are satisfactory and whether correct circuit protection is applied including additional rcd protection. The circuit should be tested prior to energizing it to ensure it functions as it should.

This is the problem, if you have the knowledge to do this the switch connection would be a simple task. How many cables do you have at the socket you are connecting from. Is it part of a ring final circuit.

Hi yes one switch goes to shower light and extractor via 13amp breaker switch, the other switch operates the bedroom lighting. But ive not seen a switch the l1 l2 l3 configuration before so unclear which goes to which terminal

It would be inappropriate to advise not knowing whether what you have installed is compliant and safe.

I suggest you consult an electrician so they can give your work from what they can see a check to see if it is compliant. They will connect your switch.

It is the most appropriate advice to give.
