Is it possible to convert a dimmer to a switch only?

Blisterman

Connecting a non dimmable fixing to a plate of 4 dimmer switches. Is it possible to have it so that the dimmer does nothing, and only the switch works? I want all the other switches to dim, just not this one, and I don't really want to put a second plate in the wall.

Alternatively, do they do plates with 3 dimmers and one switch?

You can get a plate made up of 'euro modules' / 'grid system' where you can snap in switches or dimmers (and numerous other devices).

Have a look at Click Mode minigrid switches. They can usually get 4 in a row with a mix of dimmer and switches but it will be tight. I think switches and dimmers mixed on same plate look not so nice.
Any two way circuits there that you could put the dimmer in another place?

Or can you bring the switch of the non dimmable item to another place? As in wire through this switch to another place along the wire?

Exactly. MK do some excellent grid switches.

What about that, not even sure how they work tbh

Seems to be a regular 2 way switch

I figured it there had to be something on the market

Yeah that's a grid switch module. Loads of companies do grids but Click specialise in grids that are the same size as normal switches, mini grid.

Do you know what a grid switch is? This is a module for a grid switch.

Ya

The one I linked does that not fit into a plate
