{"product_id":"1-gang-3-way-light-switch-matt-black","title":"1 Gang 3 Way Light Switch - Matt Black","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eA screwless matt black plate with a single chrome rocker, this is the switch to use when one light needs controlling from three separate positions. There are no screw heads on the face, so the plate reads as one flat square of matt black, 88mm across, with lightly eased edges where it meets the wall. The rocker is rated 10AX and moves with a short, quiet action. The matt surface holds its colour without throwing back reflections, while the chrome insert stays easy to pick out in a dim hallway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree way switching earns its keep in long spaces with more than one way in and out: a hall lit from the front door, a staircase with a landing halfway up, a kitchen with a garden door at one end and an internal door at the other. This is the one we reach for at the middle position, where two ordinary two way switches at either end cannot do the job on their own. It suits monochrome schemes and rooms where the handles, hinges and taps are already black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate and rocker are moulded in polycarbonate, a hard-wearing plastic that keeps a consistent matt tone rather than the mottled look painted metal can develop, and the switch is double insulated. It is rated for indoor use on domestic lighting circuits, so keep it to dry rooms and away from splashing. To clean it, wipe the plate with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away; abrasive creams and solvent sprays will dull a matt finish faster than anything else. Fingerprints tend to sit on the chrome rather than the black, so a quick buff there does most of the work. It carries a ten year warranty. Black plates look their best used consistently through a room rather than mixed with white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatt Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecond Colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChrome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType of Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.07KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack Box Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials Used\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate, Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax.
