2 red 2 black wires light switch. Dont worry about having two reds and a black this is quite normal. Light switch has red and black wires. It has 4 wires 2 red and 2 black the 2 black go to two different common terminals and the 2 red go to two different l2 terminals what type of switch is this and how do i replace it as the new switches only have two terminals l1 and l2 this is the only switch for the kitchen light so it is not a 2 way switch or anything like that. Connect the 2 black wires 1each to the brass screws on the new switch. Connect the black wire to the other brass screw. If the switch that was there is a standard light switch with two brass screws on it and one green screw you can connect the red wire to either of the brass screws.
Unfortunately i removed all the wires from the switch. There were 2 red and 2 black wires connected to the 4 terminals. The switch looks like this. How is it connected at the moment. I have a 3 way switch with 2 red wires and 2 black wires and a ground and trying to figure out which wire goes where. A 3 way is also a single pole.
Yep just transfer the wires across to the new switch connecting them to the same terminals as they are now. Green yellow earths together. Rf lighting 21 nov 2010. 12 22 12 at 0453 pm. If you have a ground wire connect the ground wire to the green screw. But it was a switch with 2 terminals on each side 1 ground.

I tested the other wires on the hot red to see which turn the light on and thats one of the black wires.
