Double pole light switch

[pebsham]

I need to switch 2 lights at the same time which are on different circuits. I can't gain access anywhere (hard wood floors and untouchable ceilings but I can get to both switch cables. The simplest solution would be a 1-gang, 1-way double-pole switch but I can't find one. I've looked at using a 20A isolator switch as a light switch but they seem a little "chunky". (Not to mention they all seem to have "on" stencilled on them.

Any suggestions?

Use a 20amp DP switch or a unmarked fan switch

I did think of a fan isolator but they all seem to have that "giant" switch which might look odd as a light switch.

There are other ways to do this, you seem to want to retain the asthetics of looking like a standard light switch so use the switch to pull in a 10amp 230v coil 8pin relay and use the relay to switch the 2 circuits.

MK logic K4876WHI light switch which is a 10A 1g 1w double pole light switch

Thanks for the MK logic one Leesparkykent I'll track it down. To darkwood thanks for the reply but I can't think where I'd be able to hide the relay.

Why do they both "need" to be switched at the same time?

Are both switch wires situated at the same switch? Not assuming anything, but what makes you think the lights are on 2 separate circuits, I 'm only asking because the simplest way would be to connect both switch line to the same switch, or have I got it all wrong.

Didn't you point out that it "may" not be possible?
