Description
The rocker sits on a flat ice white plate with a clean, unbroken face and no screw heads on show. The rocker itself is chrome, so there is a small glint of metal against the white. Wired as two way, it can work on its own or pair with a second switch so one light answers from either end of a hall or a flight of stairs. At 10AX it takes the lighting loads of a normal home in its stride.
We reach for this where a plain white plate is wanted but visible screws would look fussy: landings, bedrooms, sitting rooms, the top and bottom of the stairs. The plate is 88mm square, so it lines up tidily with sockets and other plates around it. It suits a freshly decorated wall, and it is just as good as a swap for a yellowed old switch that spoils an otherwise smart room. We hand these over for whole house changeovers as often as for a single replacement. Use is indoors, on household lighting circuits.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, light in the hand and smooth to the touch, and the switch is double insulated. Fingermarks are the only real upkeep: a dry cloth over the plate most of the time, and a barely damp one around the rocker when the marks build up, with sprays and cream cleaners kept well away from the chrome. It carries a ten year warranty. Left as the only piece of metal in an all white scheme, or picked up by chrome handles and light fittings elsewhere in the room, it keeps its head down and does its job.

Frequently Asked
What does two way mean on this switch?
It can be used on its own to control a light, or paired with a second two way switch so the same light can be turned on and off from two positions, such as the top and bottom of a staircase.
How big is the plate?
It is 88mm square, matching the usual single plate size, so it sits in line with other switches and sockets on the same wall.
What is the rocker finished in?
Chrome, set against the ice white plate, which gives a small amount of metal detail without breaking up the plain white face.
What load is it rated for?
10AX, which covers normal domestic lighting circuits.
How should I clean it?
A dry cloth is enough for dust and everyday marks. For heavier fingerprints around the rocker, use a barely damp cloth and dry it off, avoiding polishes, sprays and abrasive creams on the chrome.
Can it be used in a bathroom or outside?
No. It is made for dry indoor rooms on household lighting circuits only.
