Description
This Knightsbridge 1-gang dimmer plate is an 87.5mm square steel faceplate in a black nickel finish, supplied with a matching metal dimmer cap. The plate is unpopulated, meaning it accepts either centre-positioned or offset dimmer modules depending on the specific dimmer mechanism you fit behind it. The screwless cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box, leaving no visible fixings on the wall once installed.
Designed for residential and commercial lighting control, the plate suits living rooms, bedrooms, home offices and hospitality settings where dimmable lighting is required. The unpopulated design means you purchase the dimmer module separately and pair it with this faceplate, giving flexibility to choose the exact dimmer type (leading edge, trailing edge, smart dimmer) that matches your bulb load and control requirements. The 4.3mm projection from the wall keeps the profile minimal.
The black nickel finish is a dark gunmetal tone with subtle warm undertones, sitting between polished chrome and matt black in reflectivity. The premium-grade steel construction provides rigidity to the faceplate, preventing flex when the dimmer knob is turned. The built-in gasket behind the cover plate seals against the wall, reducing dust ingress and giving a cleaner edge around the aperture. The IP20 rating makes this suitable for dry indoor areas only.
