{"product_id":"1-gang-1-way-touchless-switch-smoked-bronze-screwless","title":"1 Gang 1-Way Touchless Switch - Smoked Bronze Screwless","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Knightsbridge 1-gang touchless switch activates or deactivates a lighting circuit with a hand gesture within 3cm of the smoked bronze faceplate, eliminating the need for physical contact. The gesture sensor sits behind a screwless 201 stainless steel plate finished in a dark smoked bronze tone, giving a contemporary metallic appearance that pairs well with industrial, dark-toned and modern interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for kitchens, bathrooms, clinical environments, care facilities and commercial spaces where reducing surface contact improves hygiene or convenience, the switch operates as a standard 1-gang 1-way replacement for a conventional rocker or toggle switch. The sensor requires a neutral wire connection at the back box to power its electronics, so a three-core cable (live, neutral, earth) must be present for installation. The switch operates on 230V 50Hz mains and fits a 25mm minimum back box depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe screwless cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box, concealing all fixings once installed. The 4.3mm plate depth gives a low-profile finish that sits flush with the wall, and the integrated gasket around the edge of the plate prevents dust and moisture ingress to IP20 rating. The smoked bronze finish is a dark charcoal-brown metallic tone with slight warmth, visually similar to gunmetal or aged copper but lighter than matt black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\" style=\"width: 100.036%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 58.612%;\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.1722%;\"\u003e87.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 58.612%;\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.1722%;\"\u003e87.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 58.612%;\"\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.1722%;\"\u003e24.8mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 58.612%;\"\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.1722%;\"\u003e4.3mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 58.612%;\"\u003eRecessed Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.1722%;\"\u003e20.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 58.612%;\"\u003eMin.

The gesture sensor electronics require a neutral wire connection to operate, so a three-core cable (live, neutral, earth) must be present at the back box. Older UK installations using two-core switch drops (live and earth only) will need re-wiring before this switch can be fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the detection range?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sensor activates when a hand passes within 3cm of the faceplate. This short range prevents accidental activation from general movement near the switch and requires a deliberate gesture to operate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be used in bathrooms?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IP20 rating means the switch is suitable for dry indoor locations only. It is not rated for damp or wet zones within a bathroom. For zones 1 and 2, a higher IP rating (IP44 or IP65) would be required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat other finishes are available?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnightsbridge produces touchless switches in several finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, matt black and white.
