One circuit 2 switches?

[cdbe]

I've got a 4 gang switch but only 3 circuits (I couldn't find a double 3 gang that came close to matching all the others.

Is it possible to link 2 switches so that at least all 4 switches do something? I suspect not?

Al circuits are 2 way switched if it matters.

Otherwise - leave one doing nothing?

Some confusion in terms, but -

Wouldn't a double 3 gang be 6 gang?
Technically probably all the one circuit.

Yes, but what do you want the extra one to do?

Al circuits are 2 way switched if it matters.

Not really.

Otherwise - leave one doing nothing?

Fit another light somewhere.

Thanks. Hopefully the picture of the switch in question will supplement my poor terminology.

No additional lights needed.

I want the second left switch to operate the same light as the first left so it doesn't matter which you press - just because it'll annoy me if it does nothing.

I suppose I could just super glue the rockers together.

Use a grid switch with three switches and a blank.

Trying to use what I've got. With hindsight I should have got two switches and one of these-

Any good?

You would need to change a module to an intermediate for what you want to work. Frankly it would be a daft thing to do.

Don't forget to earth that switch plate.

That looks like Scholmore Click stuff, if so it's possible to replace one of the switches with a blank, or possiblly to transfer all the switches to a 3-module plate (though personally I think the 3 module plates for double boxes look a bit weird).

IF you can tell us the part number of the switch, I can figure out which the correct parts are to match.

Simpler to operate light by using finger to press switches at highlighted locations:

Thanks. It does look extremely similar to scolmore but there's no branding on it - I wonder if it's a copy/made under license type thing.

Only part number is sw31022.3

Looks like they sell a double width switch that certainly looks like a swap.

I can't quite work out whether that's a joke or not!!

Looking back at your first picture, I see a logo in the middle of the switch modules, I think it says scholmore in curved text, but I can't be 100% sure.

It does look very likely but, as you say, one can't be certain. However, I would imagine that it would be easy to read for someone actually looking at the switch ...
