Here’s how to change a light switch in the UK. It’s easy and quick to do and I cover the basics on swapping a simple switch like for like.
If you’re changing a light switch between 1 or 2-way switches, or an intermediate switch, be sure to check out this useful guide. This website may also be useful when looking at switches with 2 wires, 3 wires or double light switches.
IMPORTANT: Please read before following the instructions in this guide
Always consult a qualified electrician before working on electrics in your home - this includes this DIY project. Metal light switches must be earthed. The changing of the light switch in this video is specific to the electrical configurations in my UK based home, which may vary to yours. I am not a qualified electrician and so this video should be watched for guidance only.
