Background is I'm looking to fit LED panels on the kitchen ceiling for
the general work lights as ageing eyes need ever more lumens. I want to
be able to run them dimmed while/when the full Monty is not needed.

Probably not 'stylish' enough for some (we have two twin flouros in
our kitchen because 'they give light' and they are off when we aren't
in there g) but when I wired up my mates office, I ran them off two
switches so they could have 50% (either set) or 100% of the lights on.

With half the lights on there was plenty of light to do most things in
the office but if they needed to turn it into a stadium, they could
turn the lot on (they had a fair quantity of the 2 x 32W CFL ceiling
fittings).


Apart from anything else, splitting circuits is not practicable when -
to quote - "I ain't ready to rewire".

No, quite, I didn't really consider my reply as a specific answer to
your question, but if you can't fulfil your specific demands in any
way, doing some re-wiring might then become an RW option, when you
*are* ready. ;-)
