{"product_id":"1-gang-3-way-light-switch-piano-black","title":"1 Gang 3 Way Light Switch - Piano Black","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn intermediate rocker is the part that makes three way switching work. It goes in the middle of the circuit, between the other switch positions, so a light can be turned on or off from any of them. The front is screwless, which keeps the face flat and clean with no fixing heads on show, and the rocker is finished in chrome against the deep gloss of the piano black plate. That bit of brightwork helps you find the switch on a dark landing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe reach for this one where a hallway has grown another door and the lighting needs to answer at every one of them: long corridors, stairwells with a mid-landing, kitchens people walk through rather than stop in, garden rooms opening off an entrance hall. It is single pole and rated 10AX, which covers ordinary household lighting, and it belongs indoors on a domestic circuit rather than in a garage or an outbuilding. Where a run of switch positions is being planned, the intermediate is the one that sits between the ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate and rocker are moulded in polycarbonate, at 88mm square, so the switch lines up with the usual run of plates and sockets elsewhere in the room. Piano black is a gloss, so keep abrasive creams and solvent sprays away from it; a soft cloth barely damp with warm water, then a dry one, lifts fingerprints without dulling the shine. It carries a ten year warranty. Dark plates read best where the wall behind them is pale, and we would keep the rest of the switching on that wall in the same black and chrome pairing.\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\u003ePiano 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.
