What Does 2 Gang Mean on a Light Switch?
A 2 gang light switch has two switch mechanisms on one plate, so two lighting circuits can be controlled independently from the same wall position. For example, one switch may control the main room lights while the second controls another lighting zone.
This is not the same as 2-way switching. Gang count is the number of switches on the plate; 2-way describes a circuit where the same light can be operated from more than one switch location. Your electrician should confirm the required circuit arrangement.
Where Can This Double Wall Switch Be Used?
A 2-gang switch is useful where two lighting circuits meet at the same wall position, including kitchens, living rooms, hallways, offices and open-plan areas. The standard vertical plate keeps both controls together without requiring two separate wall plates.
If you only need one switch, see the single vertical light switch. For three circuits, compare the 3 gang vertical light switch.
