New for old light switch
 

I have a 2 gang light switch I am replacing. On the old one it has:
Com, 1 way 2, way, The new one Com, L1, L2
Am I correct in assuming the 1 way = L1 and 2 way = L2

Yep. And you can check that with a meter or by wiring it in test config too.

Thanks thats what I thought.

I have a meter but not fluent in using it other than a wire registers
240v or not. So I take the wires out and replace in the same
configuration as the old one that my safest way with limited knowledge
of electrics. Test config I havent a clue what that means. :-)
