It’ll be done with grid switches in a face plate. Click or MK you’ll be able to make up that 3 gang. Make it a 35mm backbox it sits in though. Ask a wholesaler to help you out.

You will have to buy it in grid format so a 3 gang yolk, 3 gang faceplate, 1 dimmer insert and 2 1 gang 1way switches.

Fab, thank you! I was definitely Googling the wrong thing!

I’ve found these dimmable downlights - can you suggest a dimmer insert that would work with these?

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated!

If you haven’t the downlights yet, don’t go for transformers and GU 5.3 ( ;-) George Cooke)
But go for mains voltage - gives you more scope of lamps and less technology to ‘pop’ in the future.
GU 10 dimmsble lamps coupled with ‘Varilight’ Vpro grid or ZDano (expensive but excellent grid)

Sorry @Taylortwocities - sometimes I don’t click on links in case it takes me down the rabbit hole!
Careful now!

I think that sorts your dimmer out as for a dimmer and 2 x 1-way switches in a single 1 box format I think you would be struggling to find anything MK used to do a 2 gang switch in one grid module but in their present range I can't see one so I think that it will be a double box size and grid format.

After seeing Tels attachment from Scolemore there may be a possibility others on here may use it and tell if it is an option let us know what you decide.

As per all the above, really; Varilight V-Pro; you'll struggle to get what you want in a 1G (single/square) back box. Fitted one just like you're describing recently, had to convert the 1G back box with a 2G version, very nice.

Here's what it was for:

Not to my personal taste, but the client was happy

With the help of a couple of builders, yes. The client did the laborious job of hanging all the crystals on the wire drops.
Tell you what, I was glad I went round to have a look at the job before agreeing to do it. On the phone, the client said, "Could you quote for swapping a light over on the landing, above the stairs? I want to put a, I guess you'd call it a contemporary light up," but my spider sense was tingling. When I saw the box - about a metre square, with the words "47kg" on it, I'll admit I chuckled a little.
