Knightsbridge

We stock Knightsbridge sockets and switches from single gang to multi-gang, in flat plate, screwless, rounded edge and square edge styles. They make up most of our Knightsbridge range, with electrical accessories, back boxes and lighting such as downlights and battens alongside. Finishes run from white and chrome to black, brass and grey, so one look can carry across a room.

Which Knightsbridge sockets do you need?

Start with what plugs in at each spot. A lamp by the bed or in a hallway may only need a single gang socket, while a desk, a worktop or the corner behind a television usually needs more outlets. We stock Knightsbridge sockets in single gang and multi-gang versions, so the outlets can follow the way each room is used rather than a tangle of extension leads.

In a kitchen, plan sockets above the worktop for small appliances and keep them clear of the sink and hob. In a study, group outlets where the desk will sit. We also stock Knightsbridge back boxes and blank plates, which are useful when a socket moves and the old box needs covering neatly.

Choosing Knightsbridge light switches

On a light switch, one gang controls one light or group of lights, so count the lights you want to work from that spot. A hallway or open-plan room often needs a multi-gang switch by the door, and we stock Knightsbridge switches from single gang upwards. Where a light is worked from two places, such as the top and bottom of the stairs, both switches need to be two-way, so check this on the product page before you order.

If you want to dim a light, the switch, the fitting and the lamp have to work together. We stock dimmable and non-dimmable lighting, so check that the fitting or lamp is marked dimmable and that the dimmer suits its load and lamp type. A mismatch usually shows up as flicker or a faint buzz.

Which Knightsbridge finish and plate style should you choose?

Across our Knightsbridge range you can choose white, chrome, black, brass, grey, silver, nickel and bronze. White sits quietly against white walls, chrome and nickel give a cool metal look, brass and bronze add warmth, and black or grey stands out against pale paint. Most of the range is metal, with polycarbonate, ABS, resin and stainless steel pieces too, in styles from modern and industrial to traditional and vintage.

Plate style matters as much as colour. We stock screwless plates, which show no screws on the front, along with flat plate, rounded edge and square edge designs. Rounded edges soften a plate on a period wall, square edges suit crisp modern rooms, and flat plates keep a low profile. Buy the sockets and switches for one room in the same finish and style so they read as a set.

Knightsbridge electrical: which lighting suits your space?

Our Knightsbridge range goes beyond the wall plate. We stock downlights, battens, track lighting, LED strip lights, pendant lights and emergency lighting, plus outdoor wall lights and decking and ground lights. Downlights and track lighting work well in kitchens and living spaces, battens are a practical choice for garages and commercial rooms, and emergency lighting is used along escape routes in workplaces and shared buildings.

Check the light source before you buy. We stock fittings with integrated LED and fittings that take GU10 or E27 lamps, with a few for G9 and B22, so match the lamp cap to the fitting. Warm white suits living rooms and bedrooms, while cool white or daylight suits kitchens, garages and workspaces, and many of our Knightsbridge fittings let you select the colour temperature.

Which IP rating do your Knightsbridge fittings need?

An IP rating tells you how well a fitting keeps out dust and water. We stock fittings rated IP20, which suit dry rooms indoors, and others rated IP44, IP54, IP65 and IP66 for damper or more exposed places. IP44 protects against splashing water, while IP65 and IP66 are dust-tight and resist jets of water.

In a bathroom, a fitting must be rated for the zone it sits in, so choose IP44 or above near the bath or shower and ask your electrician to confirm the zones. Sockets in bathrooms are bound by strict distance rules too. Outside, on garden walls, paths and decking, IP65 or higher is a sensible choice, and we stock outdoor wall lights and decking and ground lights for those spots.

How to fit Knightsbridge sockets and switches

Sockets, switches and fixed light fittings connect to your mains wiring, so we recommend a qualified electrician for the job. In England and Wales, some electrical work is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, such as adding a circuit, replacing a consumer unit or working near a bath or shower, and a registered electrician can certify it for you.

Before you order, check that your back box is deep enough for the accessory you choose, and note the gang count and finish of what you are replacing. The circuit should be isolated at the consumer unit before any plate comes off the wall. If you are changing a whole room, list the sockets, switches and blank plates first so nothing is left in an old finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you stock Knightsbridge sockets?
Yes, we stock many Knightsbridge sockets. Choose single gang for one plug or multi-gang where a group of devices sits together, then pick a plate style and finish to match the switches in the room.

What does the Knightsbridge electrical range include?
Mostly switches and sockets, with back boxes, blank plates and other electrical accessories alongside. We also stock Knightsbridge lighting, including downlights, battens, track lighting, emergency lighting, LED strip lights and outdoor wall lights.

Which Knightsbridge light switch do I need?
Choose one gang for each light or group of lights you want to control from that spot. If a light is switched from two places, such as a landing and the hall below, fit a two-way switch at both points and confirm this on the product page.

Which finishes can I choose in the Knightsbridge range?
We stock white, chrome, black, brass, grey, silver, nickel and bronze across the range, though finishes vary from product to product. Check the finish on the product page and order a room's plates together so they match.

Will a Knightsbridge socket fit my existing back box?
Check that your box suits the plate size and is deep enough for the accessory, using the details on the product page. If it is not, we also stock Knightsbridge back boxes, which a qualified electrician can fit for you.

Do I need an electrician to fit Knightsbridge sockets and switches?
We recommend one, as sockets and switches connect to the fixed wiring in your home. Some jobs are also notifiable under Part P in England and Wales, and a registered electrician can sign that work off.

Can I use Knightsbridge fittings in a bathroom?
Yes, if the fitting is rated for its zone. Many of our Knightsbridge fittings are rated IP44 or higher, which is what a fitting near a bath or shower needs; ask your electrician to confirm the zone for each position.
