One Gang Rocker Switch

[PeterR]

Is is just me that doesn't see them easily or have 1G Two-way rocker switches simply doubled up and replaced (if necessary) the regular 1G One-way switches? And if the 1G 2-way can be used as both a 1-way AND 2-way, how does one connect the cables. Please advise.

see the sticky for reference
it shows tow way switches wired, 2 gang is the same but two of everything (although you can link across the live feed, but that is another story)

Never bother buying 1-way switches - 2-ways will do the same job, and can be upgraded if you need to in the future. Or if you keep spares, can be used for whatever application you need.

You could make the same arguments for always buying intermediate switches, but they're not available in as many multiple gangs, and not necessarily in the manufacturer or style range you've chosen.

thing with the idea of always buying intermediates is that they are far more expensive

tlcs prices for MK one gang (ex vat)

1 way £1.09
2 way £1.34
intermediate £5.60

Yeah - that's true.
