Hoping for some help
I am fitting a new double light switch were one of the switches is a 2 way light.
The back of the light switch looks like this
C C
L1 L2 L1 L2
Now the problem I have is that I only have four wires and six connections. All of the wires are red but two of them have a extre grey sleeve ( I assumed these were the common wires).
I have tried wiring in the two commons then wiring switch one L1 connection and switch 2s L2 connection then bridging the L2 on switch one and L1 on switch two, I can get the two switches to work this way but only if the partner switch to the 2 way light is left on.
Where have I went wrong???

This is the schematic for wiring a pair of 2 way light switches: That means that two switches control one light and either switch can turn the light on or off.
Typically the L1/L2 wires are both red, or one is black and the other red. In no case should either of those be white.
