3 Gang - 2 Way Plastic Lightswitch

[aberdeen]

Does any know where I can get a 3 gang - 2 way plastic white light switch on a double plate. All the ones I can find on the web are on a single plate, double plates seem to be reserved for 4 gang, or the 3 gang ones are in chrome, steel or gold (yuk!) and we're opting for plain old white plastic. My builder has cut a double box for the switch and as we agreed to supply all the sockets and switches, I need to find one or ask him to reduce the box size (wiring a single plate is going to be a b*gger as its two way as well..)

TIA

GET grid range - double plate with 3 grid holes, then 3 10AX 2 way grid modules. Possibly MK range too, but GET certainly have white plates and while grid modules.

Use a 4-gang one on a double box. It's not a sin to have an unused switch. If you put a spare switched live (or 2) in the wall when wiring it will be easy to use it at a later date.

Thanks both - will go with the modular option me thinks.

Especially assuming you haven't plastered yet, it's a trivial matter to reduce the size of the opening; but even if you have, it's hardly a deal-breaker.

Failing that, how about using a 4-way, with one redundant switch (yes I suppose it would irritate me too!)

Add a 1w LED light for night time use, then no redundant switch
