    Hi,

    I'm replacing a standard light switch

    One wire is live

    The other wire is not live

    When put together the light goes on.

    What wire goes where please ?

    Thanks

    If only two wires, one is the live feed and the other is the switch wire.

    Connect the live in the common (C) and the switched in L1.
