2 Gang (1 x Intermediate 1 x 2 way) Light Switch

[mech_trk]

Hi,

Sotty if this is a repetative post but I could not find anything similar to my question anywhere on this forum.

I need a 2 Gang switch with 1 x Intermediate & 1x 2 Way. I have serached a lot on the internet but had no joy!

Can anyone advise where I can find a cheap plastic one, please?

Thanks

try the click modular swutches. you fit whatever switches you like into a 2 gang, 3 gang, 4 gang faceplate:

Click "Mode" i usually just buy intermediate switches and swap a module over and use 1g2w somewhere else. But you can buy the module separately as well.

The problem is I hae already fitted 2 additional switches at either end of the hallway and pulled the wires through the ceiling and connected them all to the existing 2-Gang (2 x 2-Way) switch in the middle! and then relised that I needed an 'Intermediate switch' instead! so I need to replaces the existing switch with a 2Gang (Intermediate + 2Way) instead.

that's exactly what you can do with the click modular range. buy a 2 gang switch plus an intermediate module and swap out 1 of the switches for intermediate.

Buy those 2 and swap out the actual switch module, 1 small star screw, and then it just clicks out. Takes less than a minute.

CEF do them. loads of on line suppliers.try the one i linked to.

Thank you, I ordered the switch and modules, hopefully it'll sort out the issue

it's esy to swap out a module. 1 small screw at bottom secures the module (clips in at top) then wire up the 2 switches.

You can do this with Hager switches too, but irritatingly not a 3g single plate switch.
Just had to rewire a circuit at home to make the intermediate somewhere else to suit this. Which was annoying but my own bad planning to blame.

Just buy a 2-gang intermediate switch.
intermediate switches can be wired to provide 2-way operation.

Please tell us who manufactures them never seen a 2G intermediate switch in 40 odd years in the trade

Must be a southern thing given the suppliers you link to and at those prices I'm not surprised I have not seen them they are probably not a best seller up this way as there are a number of cheaper alternatives and I can't ever recall using contactum accessories

The smallest value coin of the pound sterling was 1/4d so therefore beer could never have been 1/3d as it would be impossible to pay for it

Not that I'm anywhere near old enough to know, but could he have meant a shilling and thruppence ?

Just looked up groats ,before my time = 4d ..then 8d
... I nearly looked at it as a fraction .. lsd we've got it licked !
(as my hippy Aunt would have said)

Yes. In the day you just wrote 1/3 and everybody knew that was the cost of something. One shilling and thruppence.
I threw in the d after the three to show I meant proper money and not this newfangled divide by ten malarkey.
I mean why ten. Ten isn’t a common number isn’t it. I mean it’s not like we have ten fingers or anything. They should have kept it at 12, or a nice prime number like 7. Now that’s a proper number.

Which would have been 1/3 to use 1/3d infers one third of a penny

 

[telectrix]

well i knew what he meant. My first beer in a pub was 1/9d.that's 1 shilling and nine pence. think that was 1961 . I was 14.
