I need to replace two light switches and just a little unsure how to wire up the new switch shown on the left in both pics. If anyone can help pls thanks.

The top of the switches are at the bottom of the pic.

The bottom switch is a double and the top one a single.

They are always arranged in triangles. But sometimes the triangles are inverted, sometimes they aren't. What you always do is keep the wires going to the same points on the triangles.

In the first photo, the new switch is upside down.

In the second photo, one of the triangles is inverted. The left set of contacts are the same as the old switch, the right set is upside down. Copy the old left set to the new left set, then imagine the old right switch upside down and copy that to the right side of the new switch.

Does that make sense?

Thanks, so I will be putting the link wire between L11 and L22 on the new switch (bottom pic)
