Overview
The Evolve 2 Gang 2 Way Switch in Satin Brass offers twice the functionality without compromising on style. This single plate houses two separate switches, each capable of 2-way wiring – meaning you can control two different light fittings from this one location, and also control each of those lights from a second switch elsewhere in the room. It's the ideal solution for large living rooms with two separate lighting zones, master bedrooms with bedside lamps plus overhead lights, or for hallways that serve both upstairs and downstairs lighting. Finished in warm, luxurious satin brass with a subtle brushed texture, this switch elevates any interior from ordinary to extraordinary.
Measuring a compact H:86mm x W:86mm, this 2-gang switch fits neatly into a standard UK single gang back box – no need for wider boxes or disruptive wall cutting. The 20A 16AX rating ensures reliable performance with modern LED, CFL, and dimmable loads, while the robust build quality guarantees years of smooth operation. Whether you're renovating a Victorian terrace or finishing a new-build apartment, this satin brass switch delivers a coordinated, premium look that stands out for all the right reasons.
Why Choose This Evolve 2 Gang 2 Way Satin Brass Switch?
Choosing this Evolve switch means you can replace a boring white plastic 2-gang switch with a design-led metal finish that complements both classic and contemporary decor. The satin brass works beautifully with dark navy walls, soft cream paints, natural wood tones, and even industrial grey schemes. Its 2-way functionality gives you complete flexibility: turn on your sofa-side lamp from the doorway, or switch off the far end of a long corridor without walking the full length. And because it's a 2-gang design, you manage two separate lighting circuits from a single, elegant plate – keeping your walls uncluttered and your control intuitive. For homeowners who appreciate quality fixtures and smart lighting design, this switch is a small luxury that pays off every single day.

FAQs
1. Can I use this switch to control two separate lights from three different locations?
No. A 2-way system allows control from two locations only for each light. To control one light from three or more places, you would need an intermediate switch in addition to 2-way switches. This product does not include intermediate functionality.
2. Can I wire this as a simple on/off (1-way) switch for both lights?
Yes. For each gang, simply ignore the L2 terminal and wire as a standard 1-way switch. This is perfect if you only need local control now but want 2-way capability for future upgrades.
3. Will this satin brass switch match other Evolve satin brass accessories?
Absolutely. The finish is consistent across the Evolve satin brass range, including sockets, dimmers, and USB outlets. You can confidently install multiple products in the same room for a perfectly coordinated look.
4. Does the 16AX rating make a real difference for LED lights?
Yes. Standard 10A switches can suffer contact arcing and premature failure with LED and CFL loads due to inrush currents. The 16AX rating is specifically designed for these electronic loads, providing safer, longer-lasting operation.
5. My existing switch is wider than 86mm – will this fit?
This 2-gang switch is designed to fit a standard 1-gang back box (86mm wide). If your existing 2-gang switch occupies a 2-gang box (approx 146mm wide), you will need to either replace the back box or use a surface-mount pattress. Check your existing plate size before ordering.
