Bathroom light switch

[Doomed]

So we are refitting the bathroom and the wife does not want a pull cord anymore.
The only contact IP rated switches I can find are low voltage or battery wireless ones that are suitable for a bathroom both of which may be fine for the moment, but I just dont fancy the long term possible faults (as there will be receivers and or relays in the ceiling void which will be sealed and not accessible after the completion).
Has anyone come across an IP rated, preferable 2 gang bathroom wall switch?

Do you have any photos of where you want to position the new switch? It may not need to be 'IP rated' if it is a suitable distance from the edge of a bath or shower.

Install the switches outside the Bathroom, never heard or seen a 2gang Bathroom Wall Switch either.

Is it possible to out it outside the door?

are you fitting downlights...if so you can put a reciever in ceiling void next to light and it will be accessible......have a look at the Quinetic range from TLC....wireless switches no batteries you can have them on the shower screen if you want

About 1m, I would be happier IP rated

We have annoying children, outside the bathroom is NOT a good idea.
My wife is an interior designer, she has odd ideas sometimes.

Have done that before for clients, was just worried about access afterwards

the reciever will fit through the cut out for the light

Most light switches can be positioned inside a bathroom, but is depends on where wrt where the shower/bath etc are located.
As Freddo asked

Give us an idea of the layout, all you may need is a standard 2-gang light switch.

If I recall @Doomed is a competent sparks. He's just asking if we know of a suitable product.

 

[freddo]

A standard switch might be suitable!
If you want/need IP and don't want a bulky outdoor switch on your wall, have a look HERE for touch switches that can be placed behind tiles and other surfaces. I have fitted a few and they work really well.

 

[Spoon]

Have you considered using a wireless switch, like Quintec?
You can put the switch anywhere inside the bathroom.

haha.. I didn't spot @Markyd post #5. I really thought that no one else had mentioned it.
