anyone know of any product that does this?

It doesn't look like it as I can't find any

(ideally it'd brushed, chrome with rounded corners and white switches, or perhaps two products that can be torn apart and put together)

it's for use with a PIR (rather than having to do the on-off-on thing to trigger the manual override).

thanks for any thoughts

Use a dual box with an FCU on one side and a 1G 1W switch on the other.
 
MK grid plus is apparently available in a brushed chrome finish and should let you fit whatever combination of switch(es) and fuse units you require.
 
thanks guys - i'll have a loot

sudden thought - will an intermediate switch do what I want? The PIR's manual talks of a "double-throw switch" but what's wanted is effectively a switch with 3-positions.

I don't think an intermediate switch is what you want.

I think Is what you are looking for an "on-off-on" switch. That is a switch with an "off" position in the center and two different "on" positions.

MK do this in grid plus, part number K4899WHI

You will also want:

fuse module K4890WHI
Two module grid K3702
Two module albany plus brushed chrome frontplate K3432BRC

thank you very much for that.


it looks like I may have been too smart for my own good and not able to achieve what I want having looked at the instructions again:

the hope had been for: constant on / PIR / off
 
However, although this gives you a "1 box" solution, the switch is only SP.

The "2 box" solution has DP switching, if that makes any difference.

Or, you could use a two gang box and put a three gang grid in, and add a DP switch into the grid.

Or even a 4 gang if you wanted a neon indicator!
 
Surely all that is needed is a one-way switch in the live feed [to turn light off] leading to a two-way switch [L1 to PIR L2 to lamp supply]. No live to PIR when overridden.
