How to connect an Architrave Switch?

I have a set of under counter lights, 6 in all wired directly to the fuse board, each light can be switched on/off individually however I'd like to put a concealed switch i.e architrave switch in to control all together instead of turning each on/off everytime. I've turn off power at the fuse board and I've cut my wire in the appropriate place, I now have 2 x live, 2 x neutral wires, and earths to connect to "Comm" and "L1" &"L2" onthe switch. What goes where?

if you are at the first light on the circuit connect all neutrals in a connector block connect all earths in a seperate connector block.connect live from fuseboard to c(common) connect live to lights to L1. you may need a bigger switch than an architrave switch to fit all connections in.
make sure you isolate the power supply
