What I have already is:
Hall switch : 2 x 2 core. 1st Cable - black to 2-way terminal top, and red
to Com top. 2nd Cable - black to 2-way terminal bottom and red to 1-way
terminal bottom. And a link wire from Com top to Com bottom.
Landing light ; 2 x 2 core. One core of each cable not used (snapped off)
1st Cable - red to 1-way terminal bottom, 2nd Cable - black to top Com.


The top switch isn't wired as a two way - you need three wires for this.

What you do have is strange - it's not normal to have any wires lopped of
anywhere.

I've included the standard diagram for two way (or more) switching.
