However if you do not wish to splice the two wires together there is an alternative. Combining 2 switches into 1.
Combining Two Light Switches Doityourself Com Community Forums
Combine two light switches into one. When you remove the tab on the line side of this switch it will now handle two completely separate and isolated switching functions. Electrical lighting i have a 3 gang box and im interested in combining 2 of the existing single pole light switches in the box into 1 switch that controls. If not your gonna need a bigger switch. They are connected to their own loadlineground wires. Those two light switches are in the same switch box and the same circuit. All you need to do is hook one of the hot lines to the switch and cap the other hot line with a wirenut.
Dont change anything on the neutrals whites and all the grounds should all go together. Then pigtail both of the two switched lines that return to the fixtures to the switch output side. Now just pass the two switch legs through this switch. Neutral is in a pigtail without connecting to any switch. Leviton as well as many other companies make a switch that has two single pole switches built into one switch. You need to make sure that the two fixtures added together are somewhat lower than the switch rating.
Now with one single device you can switch two items. Obviously without any sort of specific specifcations i cannot give you a part number that will help you out.
