2way and intermediate switching

[J.C.E]

trying to get my head around this!

so customer wants:

2gang 2way in ground hall (ground+1st)
3gang intermediate in 1st floor landing (ground+1st+loft)
2gang 2way on loft landing (loft+1st)

i understand the wiring for 1 3core cable from ground to 1gang of inter on 1st and 3core from here to 1gang in loft (image attached)

but then with the 2nd 3core from ground to 1st...

and the 2nd 3core from loft to 1st...

I am guessing you can only get a 3gang intermediate (so all 3 gangs are inter ie: l1 l1 l2 l2)

so where does these 2nd set of 3cores go at the inter switch?

cheers guys

or is it a case of having a grid setup or a 2gang 2way switch and a separate 1g intermediate next to it

i'd use click mode switches. you can swap the modules so you could have, say. a 3 gang plate with a 1 way, a 2 way and an intermediate. ( you can even fit a keyswitch if you need em lighting. ).

As Tel said Click mode switches so you can swap the modules. This is one of the reasons click is my 1st choice.

This any good? you can get either white or black insert and change one of the modules for an intermediate.

grid switching is needed. 3gang switch on first floor, 2x 2way and an intermediate
