Product Information

Ok thanks, but Just to clarify, I have 3 lights that i want 3 way control of, from the same 3 locations, so each switch needs to be 3 Gang, regardless of the location of the intermediate switches. Of course if there is a manufacturer selling 3 gang where 1 or 2 gangs are intermediate, and the remainder are 2 way then problem solved. The most common light switches are white plastic. But there’s a wide range of other, more decorative colours and finishes available, so homeowners can match their switches to their décor. When working on or around the electrics you are allowed to do yourself at home such as changing switch faceplates it’s essential that you know exactly what type of light switch does what so that, when changing them, you change like-for-like. In this project we have been talking about plate switches which are the most common types of light switch that are used in peoples homes. Ultimate flat plate provides one of the most comprehensive ranges of beautifully crafted, sleek, sophisticated fittings on the market.

This is because he/she will have all of the necessary skills and knowledge to test the circuit and then issue a minor works certificate covering the work that’s been done. Failure to do this can invalidate your home insurance! Dimmer switches are ideal for rooms where people want to relax in softer light, such as living rooms and bedrooms. So, consider if a dimmer switch is needed. If so, ensure the light bulb used in the connected fitting is compatible with a dimmer switch. If not, simply change the light bulb. Comprehensive range extends to toggle and dimmer switches plus data communication and all control applicationsIt is also possible to install or fit a variation on this theme by combining dimmer and "throw" switches on the same plate. You are then able to set the light to the required ambiance and turn it on and off. The ambiance setting is remembered by the switch but can be altered just like any other dimmer.

With this in mind, this DIY project looks at the different types of light switch and what each should be used for. Rules and Regulations for Electrical Work Intermediate switches (or 3 way switches) are used when more than two light switches are needed to control one light. However, if you need two switches to control a single lighting circuit, in the same manner that you would have a switch at both the top and bottom of a staircase to control a landing/stairway light, you need to use what’s known as a 2 ‘way’ switch. Way Switches: If a light switch is ‘1 way’ this means it is just an on/off switch. This is the simplest type of switch that you can get. The single switch controls a single light (or lighting circuit)

Gangs and ways are the terms used to describe light switch connections. They tell you how many light fittings the switch can control and how many other switches control the same light. Here’s an explanation. It is very important to be safe. Please have a look at our project on electrical safety before you begin any project. What is a 1 or a 2 gang light switch? Switches also come with different profiles, describing how the switch stands out from the wall. For example, raised profiles with rounded or square edges stand a few millimetres out from the wall. There are slim raised profiles that stand out less. And there are flat profiles that are almost flush with the wall. Don’t take any chances; if you don’t understand the job from start to finish then don’t attempt it, it’s that simple! If you are wanting to add new lights and light switches to an existing circuit or the similar then this is not possible, this will need to be done by a registered Part P electrician. Wiring & Routing is not a problem, as the whole house is getting a rewire and new fittings ASAP and the ground floor ceiling is down so i have plenty of access.
