Have a 3 gang in an intermediate.

[YTSOxford]

hi all, got a little problem i can't get my even littler head around.

The sparks that helped on the first fix have left me an intermediate switch that is also needing to be a 3 gang switch, for the controlling of stair lights. How am I supossed to get the intermediate to work, as 3 gangs have only 3 terminals on each switch, not the four.

I have seem a mini grid switch which would allow me to have an intermediate switch with 2 2way switches, but was just wondering whether there is an easier way.

Thanks.

So is the intermediate a single or multi gang? - it`s not too clear in your post

If you use the Click range, the modules in the switches can be swapped out.

Therefore, you can purchase a 3 gang and an intermediate, and swap out one of the modules from the 3G for the one out of the intermediate switch.

Thanks guys for your replies, sorry for the late reply, been having a little break in spain.

The switch needs to be a 3gang switch, where two of the switches are 2 way switches and the other an intermediate.

I have seen these, and that was what I was thinking would solve it, but was interested to know whether there is another way that i could have achieved this sort of switching, but having a basic 3gang 2way.

I know if the customer had gone for a rewire, it could have been altered but it was already an intermediate light switch, and the new lights I'm installing she wants to switch on and off from the same switch.

I agree only way to do it is a grid switch with 2 x 2way modules and 1 x intermediate but be wary most 3 gang grid switches only fit a 2 gang backbox and a 3 way light switch will fit a 1 gang backbox, which one is fitted?
