I have inadvertently bought a 2 gang - 2 way switch to operate a 2 gang 1 way connection.
The current wiring for 2 gang 1 way is; 1 red wire at the bottom and 2 black at the top.
I have tried this on the new switch but without success.

Unfortunately as I am in Portugal, the new light switch only has numbers which are; 1 & 2 on the bottom, 3 & 4 on the top, with L5 & L6 in the middle.
There is no earth wire available.

The red wire(live) comes from a spur behind the switch which gets its live from 2 other red wires which are blocked together.

I do not want to operate via 2 way, just a normal 1 position on-off if this is possible.

Thank you for any help you can suggest.
