Or if, like wot I did, you want a bedroom ceiling light switchable from by the door, where the existing switch was, and from architrave switches either side of the bed; they don't make intermediate architraves.

Intermediate Switching

Seen it done this way several times, especially when converting from 2way to intermediate.
Much like taking a three core from each 2way switch directly to the pendant (no intermediate) and using a single chocky block.

Ah - sorry, I didn't mention that the architrave switches were 2-gang, also to work wall lights....
Scolamore 'Click' do 2-gang architrave plates and also intermediate switch modules (as well as other switch modules) to fit.
Kind Regards, John

MK two gang switches have recently started to come as ones with modules on the back (like when the Logic was released 10-15- years ago). I have not looked too hard, but pretty sure you can remove them and swap around. You can actually pop the front off an MK grid module and use that (you used to be able to years ago), they also fit the rear of masterseal switches with the front popped off.
Deleted - wrong thread!
Yes you can, I have converted a few architrave switches and masterseal switches into push switches in the same way.
Though you need to be gentle not to break the plastic getting the white cover bit off, I think mk sell the naked modules with no covers, but wether anyone stocks them.
Also on the new masterseal sockets you can prise the sockets out and fit logic ones.
Thanks for all the input, slept well and got the job done yesterday with a satisfactory outcome. Big up to you chaps!
