Hi,
Currently re decorating my hall way and have come to replacing the light switches.

We have 2 lights. One upstairs (Landing) and one downstairs (Hall) controlled by a single switch upstairs and a double switch downstairs.

Firstly I'm trying to replace this old double switch:

With this new double switch:

Which wires need to go where?

Please don't give me any condescending rubbish about getting an electrician. I cant afford one. If its complicated then it'll wait.

Cheers,
Shaun R.

Just imagine the left half of the switch was round the other way and it will exactly match the switch you have, if that makes sense?
