Description
There are no visible screws on the front of this one, so the copper face reads as a single plain square with a chrome rocker at its centre. The plating has a warm metallic sheen rather than a bright mirror finish, and the moulded body behind it keeps the fitting light in the hand. Being two way, it can control a light on its own or work as one of a pair, which is what stairs, landings and long hallways usually ask for.
We reach for copper where the switch is meant to be noticed as much as the light it feeds: a hall with copper pendants, a kitchen with copper handles and taps, a bedroom that wants a switch by the door and another by the bed. It reads warm against off white, deep green and plaster pinks, and quietly against exposed brick. It is a rocker rather than a toggle or a touch plate, so it suits anyone who wants a familiar action with a better looking plate. Keep it indoors, on household lighting circuits.
The plate is metal over a polycarbonate carrier, plated in copper and double insulated. For cleaning, a dry microfibre cloth is all it wants; skip cream cleaners, metal polish and anything with a solvent in it, since plating dulls quickly under abrasives. It carries a ten year warranty. Copper is the warmest of the metallics, so if the room already has brass or antique gold elsewhere, this sits with them rather than fighting them, and a single gang plate is the one to start with beside a door.

Frequently Asked
What is the switch rated at?
It is rated 10AX and works on a 220-250V supply, which covers normal domestic lighting circuits.
Can I use a two way switch on a simple one way circuit?
Yes. A two way switch can be wired to control a light on its own, or paired with a second switch so the same light can be operated from both positions.
How big is the plate?
The plate is 88mm square, with a projection of 25mm from the wall face.
What is it made from?
A metal plate with a copper plated, metallic finish over a polycarbonate carrier, with a chrome rocker. It weighs only 0.07kg.
How should I clean the copper finish?
Dust it with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid cream cleaners, metal polishes, scouring pads and solvents, all of which can mark plating permanently.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it carries a ten year warranty.
