Description
Bright teal is a bold choice for an electrical accessory, and this one wears it across a flat screwless front with a chrome rocker set at the centre. The plate is square, 88mm each way, with no fixing screws showing to interrupt the colour. Rated at 10A and wired as a triple pole isolator, it breaks the live, switched live and neutral feeds to an extract fan in a single movement of the rocker, so the fan can be taken out of service on its own without touching anything else on the circuit.
We would put one in a bathroom, shower room or cloakroom where the fan wants a dedicated means of isolation, and it does the same quiet job in a utility room or a run of ceiling-mounted extraction. The teal suits schemes that treat switches as part of the palette rather than something to disguise, whether that is against white metro tiles, pale birch ply or a deeper blue-green wall. It is intended for indoor rooms on domestic lighting circuits, so keep it to dry, heated spaces.
The plate is moulded ABS, coloured through rather than painted at the surface, and the fitting is double insulated to Class 2. To clean it, take the power off at the consumer unit, wipe the front with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away; skip cream cleaners, wipes and anything solvent based, as these will haze a moulded finish over time. It carries a ten year warranty. We like this one alongside other chrome-inserted accessories in the same room, where the metal detail ties the teal back to taps, towel rails and shower trim rather than leaving it stranded on its own.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It is a square plate measuring 88mm by 88mm, so it sits in the same footprint as a standard single accessory.
What does the switch actually isolate?
All three poles: live, switched live and neutral. That means the fan is fully disconnected when the rocker is off, which is what makes it suitable as a fan isolator rather than a simple on-off control.
Can it be used in the bathroom itself?
It is rated IP20, so it belongs outside the shower and bath zones, typically just outside the room or on a dry wall away from splashing. It is for indoor use only.
What is the plate made from?
Moulded ABS in bright teal, with a chrome insert around the rocker. The colour runs through the material, so light scuffs do not show pale.
How should I clean it?
Switch off at the consumer unit first, then use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water and buff dry. Avoid abrasive creams, bleach sprays and solvent cleaners.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a ten year warranty.
