Description
A single gang rocker switch on a flat screwless plate, finished in platinum silver with a chrome rocker at its centre. The plate is square, 88mm across, with tidy edges and nothing showing on the front, so the face reads as an unbroken panel. The rocker has a firm, quiet action and is wired for two way switching, so it can work alone or alongside another switch governing the same light.
We reach for this one in hallways, on landings and at either end of a staircase, where switching from both positions means the light goes on as you arrive and off once you are up or down. It suits bedrooms just as well, with a switch by the door and its partner at the bedside. It belongs on indoor domestic lighting circuits, so living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms rather than bathroom zones or anywhere damp or exposed. If you are working through a house replacing tired white plates, the silver finish is a quiet lift rather than anything showy.
The plate and rocker are moulded in polycarbonate rather than pressed metal, which keeps the weight down and the colour even right across the face, and the body is double insulated. Cleaning asks very little: a dry cloth across the plate, and a barely damp one on the rocker where fingers land, keeping solvents, cream cleaners and abrasive pads well away so the silver keeps its sheen. It carries a ten year warranty. The chrome centre gives you something to echo elsewhere in the room, whether that is chrome door handles, a lamp base or the trim on a shade, and against pale grey, greige or off white walls the plate settles in without pulling the eye away from the lighting itself.

Frequently Asked
What current is the switch rated at?
It is a 10AX rocker switch, which covers normal household lighting circuits comfortably.
Can I use a two way switch where only one switch controls the light?
Yes. A two way switch can be wired for straightforward one way operation, so it is a useful thing to keep in the drawer.
How big is the plate?
The plate is square at 88mm by 88mm, and it weighs only 0.07kg.
What is it made from?
The plate and rocker are polycarbonate, finished in platinum silver with a chrome rocker. There are no screw heads on the face.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outbuilding?
No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry indoor rooms on domestic lighting circuits, so it should not go into bathroom zones or unheated, damp spaces.
How should I clean the silver finish?
A dry cloth for dust and a barely damp cloth for marks on the rocker. Avoid solvents, cream cleaners and abrasive pads, which will dull the surface.
