1 gang 3 way rocker?

Posted by Paul Grayston, on
Currently my landing light works of 3 switches. Upstairs is two, 1 gang switches. Downstairs is a 2 gang switch. One of the buttons on the two gang does nothing. I want to switch this 2 gang switch to a one gang so It looks neater and as one of the buttons does nothing any way its pointless. Firstly do I need a 3 way switch? And if so where sells one gang 3 way wide rocker switches as I have only seen one gang 2 way ones in the usual DIY shops? Cheers

Sounds like your stairs has an intermediate switch if you can switch it from 3 places. The downstairs 2 G would normally operate the stairs and hallway. Is this not the case? Would prob need to look at it. Without seeing what is connected it would be hard to give the right advice.
