Hello,
I am currently replacing all switches and sockets. So far, this hasn’t been a problem and everything is working smoothly.
Only the switch in the bathroom is puzzling me.
Attached are photos of the old switch and the new one.
L is clear. However, the new switch does not have an N like the old one.
L is also the live wire, which I have verified.
No matter whether I connect the blue or brown wire on the right or left, when I operate the switch, the circuit breaker trips.
Does anyone have any advice?

You must connect the neutral wire directly to the indicator light and NOT to the switch. The indicator light has a separate terminal specifically for this purpose, located directly on the light. This process should be handled carefully because the indicator light can very easily malfunction.

Even with painting, many people say they prefer to hire a professional because it’s done properly. And what’s the risk there? A patchy wall. But when it comes to electrical work, people casually give tips like connecting the nice blue cable here and the brown one there, and then see “if it pops” (and the cow falls over)?
