Despite housing three individual switches, it fits neatly into a standard UK single gang back box measuring just H:86mm x W:86mm. This makes it perfect for busy family kitchens where you need separate controls for overhead lights, under-cabinet lighting, and a dining pendant – all from one wall plate. Each of the three gangs is fully 2-way capable, meaning every light it controls can also be operated from a second switch elsewhere in the room or hallway. Finished in a warm, brushed satin brass, this switch brings a touch of quiet luxury to even the most practical spaces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhether you're wiring a new extension, renovating a large open-plan living area, or simply tired of multiple single switches cluttering your walls, this 3-gang switch offers elegant consolidation. The 20A 16AX rating ensures reliable performance with modern LED lighting, while the screwless faceplate design creates a flush, seamless look. Despite its compact size, the rockers are well-spaced for comfortable daily use, and the satin brass finish resists fingerprints and tarnishing. For homeowners who demand both beauty and brains from their electrical fittings, this switch delivers on every level.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Choose This Evolve 3 Gang 2 Way Satin Brass Switch?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChoosing this Evolve 3-gang switch means you can replace three separate 1-gang switches (or a messy row of them) with a single, sophisticated plate – freeing up wall space and creating a cleaner, more intentional design. It's ideal for open-plan spaces where multiple lighting zones need independent control but wall space is limited. The 2-way functionality adds everyday convenience: turn on the kitchen island lights from the hallway entrance, or switch off the far corner of a large living room from the sofa area. And because the finish matches the full Evolve satin brass range, you can pair it with sockets, USB chargers, and dimmers for a perfectly cohesive home. For interior designers, landlords, or any homeowner tired of cheap plastic switches, this is a high-impact upgrade that won't go unnoticed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp

How can three switches fit into a single gang box?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe switch uses a compact internal mechanism and staggered rocker design. Three toggles are arranged vertically within the same 86mm x 86mm faceplate. Ensure your back box is at least 25mm deep (35mm recommended) to accommodate the terminals comfortably.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2.

It will remain as a dummy switch that doesn't control anything. For a neater look, you could also fit a blanking insert (sold separately) if you prefer not to have an inactive rocker.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3.

You could have three separate lights (e.g., upstairs hall, downstairs hall, and landing) each controlled from both the top and bottom of the stairs. You would need a second 3-gang 2-way switch at the other location, or a combination of individual switches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4.

However, finishes vary between manufacturers. For a perfect match, we recommend pairing with other Evolve satin brass products from the same range.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5.

The key is having enough space in the back box (use 35mm deep).
