light switch question

[lockhes]

hi

doing a job for wifes aunty (big mistake) and she is having 6 x gu10 down lights and alos outside lights and undercupboard lights off a 3gang switch which is no problem

BUT she wants the spot lights to be able to dim but im sure you cant get a dimmer and 2 rocker switches on a standard off the shelf switch

so all i can think of is making a grid switch

but was wondering is it possible for a 3gang switch and also can u get them in brushed chrome

You'll definitely need a grid switch, different finishes available it'll cost about £40+

will it be a big grid switch or can u you get them size of double back box
