I need to replace a pull cord bathroom light switch. It is wired as follows
L IN - one brown wire and one red wire
N IN - 2 blue wires and a black wire
L LOAD- one brown wire

Not sure if this is a standard setup?
I bought a replacement but it just has 2 terminals. Is there a specific type of switch I need to buy?

Thank you

The switch you bought will work, but you'll need to use a bit of chock-block connector strip, or a "Wago type" lever or push-fit connector to join the black and blue wires currently in the N LOAD terminal.

Do not put any of those into either terminal of the new switch.

Don't get the reds & browns mixed up - put them in the terminals of the new switch in the way they are in the old one.
