Hi MonkeyHunter - problem solved. After loads of replies on the forum, I received a simple answer using only 1 relay per circuit. Everything's to be mounted in the loft so it couldn't be easier (in theory). Thanks again, Nick

Hi Bill, Thanks for that. It looks like that will work. I know it'll be a lot more work just to cover up some screw heads but I reckon it'll be worth it for the looks. It is a new installation so not as tricky as it might have been. I take your point about the isolation requirements for the...

I'm still wondering, even if it's tricky, if anyone has a wiring diagram utilising relays that will enable me to use my 3 gang switches for three way switching of 3 different lighting circuits.

Hi RF Lighting. They would all match but won't look like I want them to look. That's why I like the relay idea. The switches will look good and it'll all work.

I've chosen Varilight's polished chrome screwless range. Thyey do 2-gang intermediate switches but to get a 3-gang would mean using a grid system. I was trying to avoid this as I wanted all 3 switches to look the same.

Hi Sparkyspike, I must confess I don't know what a modular switch is. I'm thinking that I should be able to use the normal 3-gang switches as inputs to a relay configuration that would control the lights as a 3 way switching circuit.

Hi, can anyone help me? I want to control 3 light circuits from 3 positions. I've got 2 3-gang switches, but can't get a 3-gang intermediate switch in the style I've chosen. I've now bought a 3rd 3-gang switch as I believe that relays can be used and am hoping someone will have a diagram for...

Thanks MonkeyHunter - that was a quick reply. I may end up doing that too, but I'm going to persevere a little longer for these relay drawings though I'm not holding out much hope.

Did you resolve your issue with 3 way switching? I too would like to use 3, 3 gang switches and have come to the conclusion that I'll probably have to use relays. I'd like wiring diagrams to wire up relays as intermediate switches. Can you help?
