Mondo Regent Satin Nickel Create Your Own Switch Combinations

All of our Light Switches including toggles and the Dimmers are 2 way versions and the beauty of this is that they can be used on both 1 way and 2 way circuits thus eliminating the need to buy both types. A 2 way circuit refers to a lighting point that can be switched from 2 different places i.e. Hall and Landing, where you might have a switch at the bottom of the stairs and a further switch at the top of the stairs that both control the same lighting point.

If you should have more than 2 switching positions you will require one of the switches to be an intermediate switch. Intermediate Switches (also known as 3 way Switches) are typically used on a circuit that requires you to switch a lighting point from more than 2 positions ie On the Stairs and landings in a 3 story house where you would have a switch on the ground floor then also switches on the 2 upper floors that all control the same lighting point.

You would then require 2 x 2 way switches and 1 x intermediate switch to control this circuit.

While talkign about 2 way switches you should not put 2 dimmers on the same lighting circuit and they will interfere with each others operation.

We recommend 25mm deep wall boxes for mounting our switches or 35mm deep wall boxes for shallow or flat plate combinations to accommodate the dimmer units.
