Way is the number of places that control the same light, so 2 way means two switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 1 gang switch works one light or set of lights, a 3 gang works three from the same plate. A 2 way switch is what lets you turn the landing light on at the bottom of the stairs and off at the top. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/satin-chrome-round-corner-light-switch-black-insert\"\u003esatin chrome light switch\u003c\/a\u003e is a 10A 2 way switch sold in 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 gang versions, so one design covers a single bedroom switch through to a 6 gang plate by a kitchen or hall door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCan a 2 way switch be used as a 1 way switch?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. A 2 way switch wired using two of its terminals works as an ordinary one way switch, so it suits almost any position in a house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat means one switch type covers a light controlled from one place or from two. Intermediate switches, used for three or more control points on the same light, are a different part and are not in this range. Your electrician will confirm what an existing circuit needs before swapping plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich light switch do I need outside?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn IP66 outdoor switch.
