The switch is housed behind an anthracite screwless faceplate measuring 87.5mm square with a 4.3mm projection from the wall once fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for healthcare settings, commercial kitchens, care homes, bathrooms and any environment where reducing surface contact improves hygiene, the touchless operation eliminates the need to touch the switch plate with dirty hands or gloves. The switch requires a neutral wire at the back box to power the proximity sensor circuit, making it incompatible with older UK wiring that carries only live, switched live and earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anthracite finish is a mid-tone grey-black powder coat on SPCC steel that pairs with both contemporary interiors and industrial-style kitchens. The screwless cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame, concealing all fixings once installed. The built-in gasket between the faceplate and wall surface provides IP20 ingress protection and sits flush on flat, finished walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe switch handles 230V 50Hz mains loads and fits a standard UK 25mm minimum back box depth. The proximity sensor activates lighting instantly when a hand approaches and deactivates when approached again, with no delay or dwell time. The sensor works reliably with LED, halogen and incandescent loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\" style=\"width: 100.036%; height: 254.8px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 58.7611%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.779%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e87.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 58.7611%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.779%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e87.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 58.7611%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.779%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e24.8mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 58.7611%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.779%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e4.3mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 58.7611%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eRecessed Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38.779%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e20.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 58.7611%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eMin.
