5 gang domestic light switch

Where can I get a normal looking one of these? I want it to look similar to regular white MK type light switches, sized to fit a double width back box. Needs to be 2-way too. The only one on Google has hideous massive switches.

I can get a 6 gang MK no problem, but having an unused switch would make my teeth itch! 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

As far as I know Bluest, I don't know of one.

MK do a 4 way plate switch in a standard 'double box', but not a 5 way switch. You can make a 5 way grid switch up but as you say, this would involve two grids, a large box and a blank switch way which you don't want.

Two switches, side by side, a 2 Gand and a 3 Gang?

If you can find someone to punch holes in a blank cover, it would be possible to do.

That's what I would suggest. One of these:

Plus the two and three gang switches:

edit: Or get the six and just install another light

I am the son of an electrician...every room in my parents house has more switches than bulbs. My dad used to say “prepared for future needs”. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Thanks all, looks like a 1+1 back box with a 3 and 2 gang switches will have to do. Does look a bit untidy to my mind. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

the obvious solution to me would be a 5 gang MK double pattress type
with a spare gang.

in other words a 6 gang
