4 gang wall switches

gang??? seems a strange word, but anyhow:-

In the kitchen I have 4 light circuits: ceiling, spots, wall lights and cabinet lights worked at the door by a wide quadrupal wall switch on a normal double box about 145mm wide. I want to make a little extra space for some shelves and I have been looking for a quadrupal switch plate which is tall rather than wide, something just single box width. Can't find one. Do they exist? Do I have to put two double switches one above the other? Untidy.

You could use two twin architrave switches side by side.

Or the MK Essentials range has a 4 gang on a single plate

4 gang dimmers are also available:

dimmer knobs don't have up/down/left/right orientations.

Alternatively US switches and sockets are often in a vertical configuration. The Australian versions of those use 240V - would they be acceptable for a UK installation?

I suppose you'd have to mount them upside down.

MK certainly made one as part of their grid switch range. Years ago. You might still find NOS on Ebay.

If white plastic is OK. you could make one using two 2 gang grid switches and a blank plate

I assumed it was old Scots, as in 'Gang up the hous'.

Surprising choice of terminology, I agree.
