4 Gang Light Switch with 4 Independent Circuits In A Standard 86 x 86mm Panel
The R30307 & R30308 are designed to give the user four individual light switches in one standard British back box rather than having four single gang plates mounted next to each other on the wall. With the single gang plates being consolidated into a compact 86×86mm white/gold/gray/black panel, you will also save space on the wall as well as time during installation.
The R30307 & R30308 will provide you with either 1 way or 2-way controlled light switching at a rating of 16A/250VAC per gang using red copper internals and silver contacts in all four switch mechanisms. They also comply with IEC 60669 and both R30307 & R30308 come complete with a 12-year warranty for residential/commercial applications.
Four Switches – One Standard Footprint:
Each of the four rockers on the 4 gang light switch will operate its own light dimmer independently of the others. For example, a typical use would be a large kitchen with four separate light circuits where you may want to switch the main ceiling lights, the under-cabinet lights, the island pendant lights, and the accent lights all from one location. Each of the 4 gang light switches will fit in a standard UK 86×86mm back box, so there will be no requirement for a special large mounting plate.
1 Way / 2 Way on Each Gang:
The R30307 has a 4 gang 1-way switch configuration, giving you the ability to control your four circuits from a single location only. The R30308 has a 4 gang 2-way switch configuration, meaning you will be able to configure any of the circuits to be controlled from a second switch location, allowing you to have multi-switch locations for all four of your light circuits.
Reliable R30 Series with Red Copper & Silver Contacts
All four gangs of this four-gang light switch utilize the same proven internal architecture that includes red copper bushings, red copper stampings, and red copper bus bars, together with a 0.35mm thick silver alloy contact point that has a diameter of 3.5 millimeters. The front panel and base are constructed from high-strength, clear polycarbonate plastic that is imported, and there is a full-width iron middle plate that helps ensure that all four rocker arms stay tight and level with each other. This will help to prevent the specific hanging part of the rocker arm from moving out of adjustment due to excessive flexing or usage on any single gang over the life of the product.
Two Types Of 4 Gang Switches – R30307/R30308
| Type | Switching Functionality | Typical Use In The UK |
|---|---|---|
| R30307 | 4 Gang 1 Way | To control four separate circuits from one location – ideal for large kitchens, open-plan living areas, and commercial premises where multiple independent lighting groups are controlled from one central point. |
| R30308 | 4 Gang 2 Way | To control four separate circuits from two locations – ideal for large hallways, stairways, and hotel corridors where multiple points of control over several lighting zones are required. |

OEM branding, custom packaging, and dedicated account support included.
Where to Specify This 4 Gang Light Switch
Application notes, wiring guidance, and product comparison for specifying a 4 gang switch in British Standard installations.
Application Use Cases
For large kitchens and open‑plan living areas, this 4 gang switch operates main ceiling lights, task lighting, accent lighting, and decorative lighting from one panel. In commercial spaces, it consolidates control of multiple independent circuits in meeting rooms, restaurants, and retail floors. For hotel corridors and staircases, the 2‑way version (R30308) enables multi‑point control of four separate lighting zones, meeting complex wiring regulations without additional switch plates.
4 Gang Switch Wiring & Connection Guide
Each of the four gangs has its own clearly marked common, L1, and L2 terminals. For 1‑way operation, bring the live feed to each gang’s common terminal and connect the load wire to L1. The live can be bridged across all four common terminals. For 2‑way circuits, add the traveler wire to L2 on the corresponding gang. When planning a 4 gang switch connection, careful cable management inside the back box is essential — the iron middle plate keeps the assembly rigid and all four rockers aligned on the wall surface.
2 Gang vs 4 Gang — Making the Right Choice
A 2 gang switch controls two circuits from one single‑gang back box; a 4 gang switch controls four. If you only have two independent lighting groups meeting at one wall position, a 2 gang is sufficient. But if you need to manage main lights, under‑cabinet lighting, pendant clusters, and accent lights all from one location, the 4 gang model consolidates them cleanly. Both share the same 86×86mm footprint and R30 series finishes. For reference, this 4 gang switch is purely mechanical — if your project requires a zigbee 4 gang switch, this unit can be paired with an external smart relay or hub without losing the unified wall aesthetic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a 4 gang switch?
Yes, the 4 gang switch is a standard electrical product used worldwide. The R30307/R30308 is our British Standard 86×86mm 4 gang light switch — four independent rockers on one wall plate, each controlling a separate lighting circuit. It is the space‑saving alternative to installing four single‑gang switches across four back boxes.
What is a 4 gang switch?
A 4 gang switch has four individual rockers on a single faceplate. Each gang controls its own lighting circuit independently. The entire 4 gang switch panel fits a standard 86×86mm British back box, meaning you can operate four different lights or groups of lights from one location without enlarging the wall opening.
What is the difference between 2 gang and 4 gang switch?
A 2 gang switch controls two separate lighting circuits from one plate. A 4 gang switch controls four. The key difference is the number of rockers on the panel — 2 vs 4 — and the number of independent circuits you can manage. Both the R30 series 2 gang and 4 gang switches share the same 86×86mm dimensions and red copper internal architecture. Choose 2 gang when you have two lighting groups at one wall position; choose 4 gang when you need to manage four distinct zones.
How to wire a 4 gang socket?
The term “4 gang socket” typically refers to a power outlet, but the wiring principle for a 4 gang switch is similar: each gang has its own common, L1, and L2 terminals. Bring the incoming live to the common of gang 1 and bridge it to the commons of gangs 2, 3, and 4. Connect each outgoing switched live to the L1 terminal of the corresponding gang. For 2‑way circuits, use L2 for the traveler. The R30307/R30308 terminals are clearly marked to simplify the 4 gang switch connection. Always consult the wiring diagram provided, isolate the circuit, and use a qualified electrician.
