Have you got the holes in the ceilings yet, or will you be able, in the nick of time, to avoid making that mistake?We are installing new downlights in our en-suite (3) and our main bathroom (2).
Just one example:

Ok, so how does that make the finished product look?
I.e. if we bought the following product from B&Q (i.e. a double rotary dimmer switch):-

and then replaced the rotary dimmer module with the on/off switch module (as linked in your post above), I take it that would solve the problem “behind the scenes” so to speak i.e. the bit of the light switch that we don’t actually see. However, what does the front of the double switch then actually look like? Does it end up looking like that industrial set up in the attached picture below?
Or can we get a finished product that would have a nice chrome rotary dimmer switch facing (on one side of the double switch), and the (exact same chrome finished) on/off switch facing (on the other side of the double switch)?
If so, presume we then need to purchase the following product to cannibalise the on/off switch facing in the exact same chrome finish?

If this is the case, then how on earth do we get the on/off switch into the double dimmer casing?
Still very confused!!!

Buy a double dimmer in teh style that you prefer.
Pull off one dimmer knob. Underneath there will be a nut that you undo.
You can then remove the dimmer and are left with a hole in the plate.
Insert the dummy switch module (see link above for example) and put it in the hole. Do up the securing nut and put on the knob that you removed in step 1.
Then you have what looks like a double dimmer with matching knobs. One side is the dimmer, the other side is a push on/off switch.
It's not hard.
. One side is the dimmer, the other side is a push on/off switch.
It is very annoying if you don't read the responses.
