Electrical Switch (Read 2629 times)

Tufti GDPR opt-out	Electrical Switch Sep 8^th, 2014, 12:58pm Hello Mr Electrician. I am looking for an electrical switch where I can have one 'live' wire coming in which will allow me to have 3 live wires coming out the other end - does such a switch exist and if so does it have a special name and can it be bought at an electrical shop?

Perhaps check if this one is L1-L2-L3.... http://www.reconelectrical.co.uk/click-mini-grid-modules-10a-3-position-white-sw... But is a three position switch really what you need? Does it need to look like a regular white light switch?
