Description
A single rocker sits on a flat screwless plate in cool grey, with a chrome insert ringing the switch and no fixing screws showing on the face. It is a two way switch, so it will work on its own or paired with another controlling the same light. The plate is square at 88mm across, and it is rated 10AX, which is ordinary lighting circuit duty for a house. A single rocker is easy to find by hand in a dark hallway, and the flat plate gives dust nowhere much to settle.
Two way switching earns its place on stairs, landings and long hallways, where you want to switch the light on as you set off and off again when you arrive. A single gang keeps a simple room simple: one bedroom pendant, one kitchen ceiling light, one set of downlights on a single circuit. We would choose the cool grey over white where the walls are grey or greige and a bright plate would jump out, and it sits happily beside chrome, nickel and steel ironmongery.
The plate is moulded in ABS, with the rocker and the chrome insert set into it, and the unit is double insulated. Wipe it with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight after; skip the sprays and cream cleaners, which dull chrome trim over time. It carries a ten year warranty. Intended for indoor rooms on domestic lighting circuits, it is not one for a shower zone or a damp outbuilding. Used in pairs at either end of a passage, the plates match each other exactly, which is the point of the screwless format: nothing on the face to line up or leave crooked.

Frequently Asked
What does two way mean on this switch?
It can control a light on its own, or work with a second two way switch so the same light can be turned on and off from two positions, such as the foot and head of a staircase.
What is the plate made from?
It is moulded ABS in a cool grey finish, with a chrome insert around the rocker. The complete switch weighs 0.07kg.
What size is the plate?
The faceplate measures 88mm by 88mm, so it matches standard single gang plate sizing.
What load is it rated for?
It is a 10AX rocker, intended for domestic lighting circuits rather than power circuits.
Can it go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20 and made for indoor use in dry rooms, so keep it out of shower and bath zones.
How should it be cleaned?
A barely damp cloth, then dry immediately. Avoid solvents, polishes and abrasive creams, which can mark the grey plate and dull the chrome.
