Hi all

I’m looking for something that may not exist...

A while plated 2 gang light switch... But, I want both switches to be a different colour. One can be white and the other colour could be anything...

One switch is the power to a motion sensor which shouldn’t really be turned off but the option is needed, the other is for an override switch...

Thanks in advance
 
Some switches unscrew from the faceplate. Buy different colour ones (then you will have two).

Paint? Lacquer? Sticky tape? Transfer letters?
 
Some (most?) motion sensors allow overriding to be permanently on by manipulation of the switch - on/off/on.
 
With MK grid switches, you can have one switch white and one red, but instead...



...you could make the switch for that a key switch, so it can't be fiddled with by the kids/wife/etc.

I would without a doubt lose that key! :LOL:

Indeed you are correct but this one has as in built timer which reverts back after 2 hours...
 
What kind of switches do you need?

One way?
Two way?
Double pole?
Retractive?
