Description
A single rocker sits on a flat warm grey plate, the rocker finished in chrome so it picks up the light against the softer surround. The face is screwless, so nothing breaks the plate but the switch. It is wired for two way working, so the same light can be controlled from another position as well as this one, and it works perfectly well on a plain on and off circuit too. The rocker has a firm, quiet action, which matters on something pressed several times a day.
We reach for warm grey where a bright white plate would sit hard against chalky paint or a papered wall, and it suits hallways, landings and stairs particularly well, where the light wants switching from either end of a run. Bedrooms are the other obvious home for it, with a switch by the door and its partner by the bed so nobody has to cross a dark room. It is a small piece of hardware, but the sort you touch constantly, and worth matching properly to the rest of the room.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate with a chrome insert and is double insulated, and it measures 88mm square, so it sits in line with standard plate widths along a wall. Keep it clean with a dry or barely damp cloth and buff the chrome afterwards; cream cleaners and solvents will dull the grey over time. It is meant for dry rooms indoors on ordinary domestic lighting circuits. It carries a ten year warranty. Chrome on warm grey pairs neatly with brushed and polished metal fittings elsewhere in the room, and it stays quiet on the wall where a stark white plate can shout.

Frequently Asked
What does two way switching mean here?
It allows one lighting circuit to be operated from two separate switch positions, so a stair light can be turned on at the bottom and off at the top. Wired on its own, it simply works as a standard on and off switch.
What is the current rating?
The rocker is rated at 10AX, which covers normal domestic lighting circuits.
How big is the plate?
It is 88mm square, with a plate depth of 25mm at the switch face.
What is it made from?
The plate is polycarbonate with a chrome rocker insert, and it is Class 2 double insulated.
Will it mark or discolour?
Not with sensible cleaning. Use a soft dry cloth for dust and a barely damp one for fingerprints around the rocker, then dry it off. Avoid bleach, solvents and abrasive creams, which take the sheen off both the grey plate and the chrome.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No, it is intended for dry indoor rooms such as hallways, bedrooms and living spaces.
