When you’re fitting a one way bathroom switch but have two red cables do you only need to use one

So do you need to fit both red cables or just one into either common or Light as there is no brown and red cable
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi Vince,
You will use both cables
1 cable will be your permanent live and 1 cable will be your switch wire to switch the light on

It's either a feed and a switch line or 2 feeds. If unsure call an electrician.
