I've tried Googling but guess my powers are weak.

I'm after a button type push on/off light switch that doesn't do dimming - they're for the MIL's house to replace existing (dud) switches but they're mounted so the switch sits behind a large floor to ceiling fascia panel so the replacements have to fit through the existing round holes.

Or can I modify a dimmer to whip out the dimming bit & leave the push on/off bit?

Screwfix do push button light switches but the buttons are almost flush with the unit - would something like a toggle switch do?

I bought what turned out to be a faulty chrome one from B&Q last week if that helps,does exactly what you want.

Maybe I should take a tester into B&Q to see if I can find any others 😉

Toggle switches etc are a non started I'm afraid - FIL was an architect who designed & built the house so all the switches are a similar style and change would be too much to contemplate!

Can you not just fit a dimmer, set it for where you want it and then use the push part to turn it on and off?
