Dimmer/normal switch

Does anyone have any idea if I can get a double switch that has a dimmer switch and a normal switch on it?

I have bathroom Downlights that are dimmable and an extractor fan controlled on a double switch at the minute, but I want to be able to dim the lights on their switch.

I had this issue and my builder said that a switch with 1 dimmer and 1 normal is not available, so what I have is what looks like a double dimmer, but one is wired for the dimmable lights and the other just presses on and off. It looks fine 😊

Yes you can. We have them and the Sparkie just changed the insert for a non dimmable

Yes you can, we use Click modules with Zano Dimmers to do this all the time, your biggest problem will be if the backbox is deep enough to fit a dimmer as most need a 35mm deep box. Any half decent sparky can sort this for you.

Have a look at Varilight Grid Switches.

I’ve got a 3 gang on my external bathroom wall, with 2 LED dimmer modules and a rocker switch with fan etched on it.

The faceplates are available in numerous materials and finishes.

We have two dimmers and one on/off only on the same plate. The switches all look the same, like three dimmer buttons iyswim.
