British Standard 1 Gang Slim Wall Switch — 1 Way, 2 Way & 3 Way, Three Premium Finishes
The DN71301/DN71302/DN71313 is a UK standard 1 gang slim style wall switch, featuring 1 way, 2 way, and 3 way switching options in one super slim panel size of 88×86mm. The slim wall switch provides a much closer look to the wall than standard switches; thus providing a sleek profile. Moreover, the 3 way type is quite useful as the intermediate switch allows controlling one lighting circuit from three or more places; making it best suitable for long corridors, open plan areas, and rooms with multiple entrances. The front panel is made from choice of three premium materials: PC for mass production purposes, toughened glass for glossy finish that is resistant to fingerprints, and brushed aluminum for industrial look of the panel. The advanced red copper and Φ3.0×25 mm silver alloy contacts ensure the effectiveness of the switch. Other features include two options for middle plate.
We are a factory-direct supplier offering affordable wholesale prices, OEM branding on any panel material, and 12-year warranty coverage on all DN71 series products.
3 Way Intermediate Switch — Control One Circuit from Three or More Locations
DN71313 switch is an intermediate switch. It connects with two two-way switches and enables the control of a single lighting circuit at three or more locations. For example, you can turn on/off lights in a long hotel corridor from both ends of the hall and the middle. The intermediate switch connects with the traveler wires between the two way switches. It uses four terminals and does not connect directly to the light fixture. This resembles a four-way switch in the North American market. Nowadays, DN71313 switch comes in the same 88×86 mm slim panel as the one-way and two-way versions with the same use of copper and silver alloy in the terminals.
Red Copper & Silver Contacts — Reliable Switching Across All Three Configurations
All three models of the slim switch range are constructed on the same internal principles. These switches use a red copper contact system with a silver alloy touch point sized Φ3.0×25mm, providing the same satisfying tactile sensitivity, regardless of the type of wiring employed (one way, two way, or intermediate), as well as consistent electrical performance. The front panel is made of the required material (PC, tempered glass, or brushed aluminum) and is mounted to the imported high-strength base made of PC and middle part made of plastic-wrapped metal or metal. The switches measure 88mm×86mm, the extra 2mm added to the standard size of 86mm×86mm making the switches more modern and elegant in proportions. The devices are certified by IEC and are supported by a twelve-year warranty.

1 Way vs 2 Way vs 3 Way: Choosing the Right Slim Switch for Every Wiring Scenario
A practical guide to specifying the correct switch configuration for single, dual, and multi‑location lighting control.
Which Switch Type Do You Need?
The DN71301 (1-way) is the standard light switch for most room types with a single access point, including bedrooms and bathrooms. The DN71302 (2-way) must be used in any staircase or corridor configuration where lights are switched from two locations — there must be a switch at both the top and bottom of the stairs or corridor.
DN71313 (3-way/intermediate) extends the switching function to three or more locations by using this type of switch between two DN71302 (2-way) switches for use in long corridors, open-concept areas, and hotel rooms with access from several points.
Panel Material Selection — PC, Glass, or Aluminum?
PC: Affordable and hard-wearing — the number one option in home projects. Tempered glass: Smooth, thumbprint-resistant — first-rate option in deluxe houses and boutique hotels. Brushed aluminium: Shiny industrial effect — excellent for modern office buildings and trendy interiors. All three have the same 88×86mm size and copper/silver contact.
Installation Note
The 88×86mm faceplate is designed for use in conventional UK backboxes. The wiring instructions adhere to standard practice within the UK. For single switch lighting applications, common and L1 should be connected. For 2-way switches, the common and a traveler (traveler wire) to L2. The 3-way (intermediate) switch PC2 is in use, which connects two two-way switches, featuring four terminals for two traveler segments. Always de-energize the circuit before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 3 way light switch?
In UK English, a three-way switch is known as an intermediate switch; it allows for the control of one lighting circuit from three or more positions. The DN71313 is a UK standard intermediate switch (three-way switch) that is installed in between two two-way switches. In North American terminology, it would be called a four-way switch. The DN71313 comes equipped with four terminals to connect the wires and it is produced in the compact form with outer dimensions of 88x86mm, just as the one-way and two-way DN71 switches are.
What is the difference between 1 way, 2 way and intermediate switches?
When compared to a single-way switch (DN71301), which operates a circuit from only one location, such as a typical bedroom or bathroom switch, a two-way switch (DN71302) utilizes two switches in tandem to operate a circuit from two locations, such as in a staircase application. An intermediate switch (DN71313) is used in conjunction with two two-way switches in order to operate a circuit from many locations (corridor system or multi-entrance room). All three devices have exactly the same slim-panel look and red copper/silver way of functioning.
What panel materials are available for this slim switch?
Three options for the front panel of the DN71 Series 1 Gang Slim wall switch are: imported high necessary transparent PC (economical and dependable), thermos glass (shiny and fingerprint-resistant high-grade surface), and brushed aluminum (metallic industrial look and scratch resistant). The dimensions of the three materials below are all 88×86 mm, with red copper and silver inner contacts and a 12-year warranty.
Is this switch compatible with British standard back boxes?
The 88×86mm panel is compatible with standard UK back boxes. The extra 2mm height provides a slight modern elongated proportion, but it is still fully compatible with the UK installation. There is no need for any modifications or adapters.
