2 gang light swith incorporating intermediate and 1/2way

[topham53]

I have an intermediate switch on the landing and wish to change the cord pull switch in the bathroom to a rocker switch on the landing wall socket. Can I use the existing box with a new two gang switch. I don't seem to be able to find a suitable two gang switch incorporating the two different terminal connections. Can a two way switch be adapted for the intermediate wiring?.

An intermediate switch can be used as a 2-way switch, but not vice versa.

To use an intermediate switch as a 2-way, just wire what you'd normally put into common on the 2-way into a terminal on one side of the switch, and then the normal L1/L2 into the terminals on the other side of it.

Thanks Rebuke, so a two gang intermediate will do the trick
