Two way toggle light switch for one light and two doors

Updated: October 2026

You are replacing the 1-gang plate by the front door, and a second switch at the kitchen end already shares that hall light. A two way toggle light switch is the plate for that layout: two switches, one lamp, and either switch can turn it on or off. In the [toggle switch comparison](/hub/electrical-equipment/toggle-switch), only two of the twelve amazon.co.uk listings are lighting plates. The Knightsbridge brushed brass 1-gang states that it is 2-way. The white plastic plate, whose brand field reads Marbo Sport, says it can be used as 1-way or 2-way. Shelf prices were about £12.70 and about £3.61. The Products Compared editorial team read those listings and public UK sources on 15 October 2026, without a lab test.

Two switches, one light

The Knightsbridge bullet says two switches control one light in a room with two entrances. A hall with a door at each end is the usual case. The listing is ASIN B00V6UMVF0. The model cell reads FP1TOGBB and the part number is FPAV1TOGBB. The title states 10 A, and the face measures 8.7 by 8.7 cm. Instructions and screws are included, and the warranty description states 15 years. An integral gasket is listed without an IP code, so there is no bathroom-zone rating. At about £12.70, with 4.4 stars from 145 reviews, you pay for the brass finish and that 2-way line. This plate fills only one end of the run.

The white plate's 1-way or 2-way line

The white plate, ASIN B005EF2WD4, is the best value of the two. The bullet says it can be used as 1-way or 2-way, with fixing screws, and the title states 10 A. A box room with one door is the 1-way case. The hall, with a second switch on the same lamp, is the 2-way case. The price was about £3.61, with 4.5 stars from 2,675 reviews, and the brand field reads Marbo Sport. The table lists Wi-Fi, touch control, IP65, ON-OFF-ON, and a body of 2 by 2 by 2 mm. A 2 mm cube cannot be a faceplate, so those cells are bad table data.

What is missing for a third switch

An intermediate switch sits in the middle when three positions share one lamp: downstairs, the landing, and upstairs. None of the twelve listings describes itself as intermediate. These two plates can sit at either end of a two-switch run, and the white plate can also work alone as 1-way. Replace the middle plate with either of them and you no longer have a plate this set calls intermediate. The other ten ASINs are panel toggles and rockers. Approved Document M's 450 to 1,200 mm switch height applies to new dwellings. A like-for-like swap stays at the plate's present height.

Finish, screws and the gasket claim

UK reviews of the brass plate mention screws too long for a thin back box, a missing-screw order, a broken arrival and finish damage. White-plate reviews mention short screws and terminal screws that fall out. The gasket is integral and has no IP code, so it is not a bathroom-zone rating. In England, Approved Document P treats a safe like-for-like replacement as non-notifiable. A new circuit or a bath or shower space sits outside that boundary.

Common questions

What does the Knightsbridge listing mean by 2-way?
On the Knightsbridge listing, 2-way means two switches controlling one light, usually from two entrances. The plate is part number FPAV1TOGBB, model cell FP1TOGBB, ASIN B00V6UMVF0. The title states 10 A, the face is 8.7 by 8.7 cm, and the price used here was about £12.70, with 4.4 stars from 145 reviews.
Can the white plate be used as 1-way or 2-way?
Yes. The bullet on ASIN B005EF2WD4 says the white plastic plate can be used as 1-way or 2-way, and the title states 10 A. Use 1-way when it is the only switch, and 2-way when a second switch already shares the lamp. It was about £3.61 with 4.5 stars from 2,675 reviews. The Wi-Fi cell and the 2 mm body clash with that bullet.
Is either listing an intermediate switch?
Neither listing is an intermediate switch. Both plates describe two positions on one light, and the white plate also allows a single 1-way position. An intermediate is the middle plate when three positions share one lamp, as on many UK stairs with a landing. No listing in this set of twelve uses that description. If the plate you are removing is the middle one, these two ASINs leave that position uncovered.
What current is stated, and is a voltage printed?
Both titles state 10 A, on the Knightsbridge 1-gang 2-way plate and on the white plastic plate. The listing notes used here do not record a printed voltage in either set of cells. UK room lighting is supplied from 230 V mains, which describes the house supply. A panel toggle sold around a 12 V headline belongs with the equipment parts left off this page.
Why ignore the white plate's Wi-Fi and IP65 cells?
The bullet describes a plastic lighting switch for 1-way or 2-way use, with a 10 A title. The table lists Wi-Fi, touch control, IP65, ON-OFF-ON, and a body of 2 by 2 by 2 mm. A 2 mm body cannot be the plate you screw to a back box. A BS EN 60669-1 stamp in one UK review is a note about that sample.
Does the gasket make the brass plate a bathroom switch?
The Knightsbridge listing includes an integral gasket and states no IP code. Without an IP rating, the gasket does not show that the plate suits a bath or shower zone. In England, a safe like-for-like replacement is non-notifiable and still has to be safe. A new circuit or a bathroom zone falls outside that boundary.
