Intermediate Switch(es) Required?

[ban-all-sheds]

You've got room for a single-width accessory, and the Scolmore minigrid has a 3-gang single width, or you could fit a double-width one if you wanted, which widens your choice of makes.

With a grid you can mix'n'match 1-way/2-way/intermediate modules.

You can get a brushed metal faceplate and black modules - won't be an exact match for the rest of the house, but it will easily be close enough.

I doubt you will find what you specifically want.

However, IF you can find a three-gang intermediate then that will do as they can be used as one-way, two-way or intermediate.

The collective knowledge is that nobody makes a 3-gang intermediate.

At least I am beginning to understand that the previous owner probably had to do what they did. Searching for "3 gang intermediate switch" is proving pretty fruitless.

Doesn't the switch that I currently have on my wall, to the left, look just like a Scolmore VP SC 025 BK or maybe a VP SS 025 BK?

Maybe if I could replace both with a VP [SC or SS] 013 BK I might be onto something... although I think 013 means a 3-gang non-intermediate switch, so I might need to look at getting 403 "1 Gang Plate Triple Aperture" and the appropriate modular gubbins to go inside it...

Well why didn't you say that's what you meant.

You can also get a 6-gang in the same range.

Do I just print this out and screw it to my wall?

If I went for my lesser preferred option, of having a single 1-gang intermediate switch alongside the existing single 2-gang 2-way switch, I'm guessing this would serve my purposes...

Unless EFL can find you an actual product, yes.

You could also draw some cables connecting it to the lights.

Best unscrew it and see. But isolate safely first.

What deep joy that would be to wire up and fix in place with loop-at-the-switch and 6 different lighting circuits.

If that is a reasonable match to your other existing accessories, just get that - got to be less aggro than your other idea.

 

[ban-all-sheds]

It does seem a shame, though, not to sort this out:

2 accessories right next to each other like that never look good, particularly when 1 is crooked and they are different sizes and/or profiles.

Swapping one switch doesn't seem worth the candle for the aesthetic improvement gained.

Am I missing something? What's wrong with the click mini grid as suggested earlier? You intermediate is already a click mini grid switch.

Are you saying you can positively ID the left hand switch as Scolmore?
