3-way circuits and switch ratings

[AndyGR]

I have 2 lighting circuits in the same room that I want to control from a 3-way switch circuit made up of 3 2-gang switches. The first circuit is composed of 10 GU10 (50W) lamps and the second of 2 GU10 50W lamps. None of these lamps are driven from a transformer. I understand the 3-way switch circuit but I have 2 questions:

1. are 2-gang intermediate switches easily available?
2. is the 10 lamp circuit of 500W going to be a problem with regard to switch ratings, and if so how do you suggest I proceed?

Thanks

cant say i have heard of 2 gang intermaeadiate (doesn't mean they dont exist) you may have to try an electrical wholesaler and not a problem for the 500watts
