For some reason this house has a 2g plate with 4 light switches, only
2 of which do anything. Although we've been here for nearly 3 years I
still operate the wrong damn switches. I don't want to mess-up the
decoration (yet) in this part of the house so ... can anyone here
point me at a white 2g plate with only 2 switches? I suppose I could
use a euro plate and a couple of blanks if all else fails, but these
look a little office'y


If the switches are 2w types, wire adjacent pairs to form a 2 way
switching circuit (as you have on stairs etc). Then all you need to get
right is the pair to make the correct light work.

Not ideal but (perhaps) an improvement.


A great idea (that I hadn't thought of) but Owain was 11 minutes ahead
of you ;-)
