I have searched the forums but could not see any posts with the same issue/question.
I have recently replaced the standard white sockets in my house for brushed chrome.
All fine except the downstair/upstairs lighting switch.
Al switches are replaced like for like, apart from one switch which is on the landing and controls the upstairs lights and the downstairs hall lights.
When i removed the old socket (2way) i notice it has a 1 gang swich with a COMMON, L1 and L2 (downstairs lights control) and a INTERMEDIATE switch (upstairs lights control).
The switch i have purchased is a standard 2 way 2 gang.
Now i know that this is the route of my problem.
My question is, can a 2 way 2 gang swtch be made to work as an intermediate, i suspect not.
If it cannot, where do i find such a switch in brushed chrome ?
Many thanks if anybody can help.
