Key Features

Intermediate Switching Function

This switch allows control of a single lighting point from three or more different locations, making it essential for stairwells, corridors, and large open-plan spaces.

Standard UK Size – 86 x 86mm

Fits into standard 1-gang wall boxes and is compatible with other square-edge Securlec wiring accessories for a unified appearance.

Double Pole Switching for Added Safety

Disconnects both live and neutral lines, offering enhanced electrical isolation in certain applications where it’s required by regulation or for extra precaution.

Easy Installation – Angled Terminals

Large, angled terminals positioned at the top of the unit allow for faster, neater wiring, especially in shallow or crowded wall boxes.

Clear Terminal Markings

Heavily embossed markings on all terminals reduce wiring errors and support faster, more confident installations by professionals and DIY users.

One Screwdriver Required

All terminal and faceplate screws are designed for use with a single screwdriver type, reducing tool changes during installation.

Dual Earth Terminals

Improves earthing capacity and supports safe and regulation-compliant wiring practices—particularly important in metal back boxes or ring circuits.

Screw Retention System

Fixing screws are securely retained by the integrated earth strap, preventing them from falling out during fitting or servicing.

Smooth, Contoured Finish

The square-edge profile blends neatly into any wall surface, offering a clean, modern look that suits both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Ideal Use Cases

Multi-way lighting control for:

Hallways and landings (especially across multiple floors)

Large living rooms or lounges

Open-plan kitchens

Warehouses and commercial corridors

Staircases with multiple entry points

Residential and commercial properties requiring multiple switch access points for a single light fitting

Installation & Safety Notes

Ensure power is switched off at the mains before installation.

Use with a standard 25mm or deeper metal or plastic back box.

Connect using correct cable cores as per your switching configuration: this switch is used between two 2-way switches.

Tighten all terminal screws securely, but avoid over-tightening.

Test circuit functionality before replacing the faceplate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is an intermediate switch?
A: An intermediate switch allows you to control a single light from three or more switch locations. It must be used between two 2-way switches in a multi-way switching circuit.

Q2: Can I use this switch as a standard 1-gang switch?
A: No. Intermediate switches are designed for specific 3-way switching circuits. For simple on/off control from one or two locations, use a 1-gang 1-way or 2-way switch.

Q3: Does it require a specific type of back box?
A: No. It fits all standard 1-gang flush-mount boxes, though a minimum depth of 25mm is recommended for easier cable management.

Q4: Is this part of a modular system?
A: While not modular, it is part of the Securlec square-edge range, which includes matching sockets, switches, spurs, and dimmers for a consistent finish.

Q5: Is this switch suitable for LED lighting?
A: Yes, it is suitable for most modern lighting loads, including LED and low-voltage lighting, as long as overall circuit ratings are respected.
