Description
The Knightsbridge 1-gang dimmer plate is an unpopulated screwless faceplate in smoked bronze, supplied with a matching metal dimmer cap. The plate is constructed from premium-grade steel with a smoked bronze finish that shows a subtle brushed texture, and measures 87.5mm square with 4.3mm projection from the wall once fitted.
Designed as a modular dimmer solution for residential and hospitality settings, the plate accepts either centre-mounted or offset dimmer modules (sold separately), giving flexibility in wiring configuration. The screwless construction uses a cover plate that clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box, hiding all screws and fixings once installed. A built-in gasket behind the plate creates a tight seal against the wall surface, preventing dust ingress and maintaining the clean edge line.
The smoked bronze finish sits between dark gunmetal and warm bronze tones, pairing well with industrial, contemporary and transitional interiors where a warmer alternative to matt black or brushed chrome is needed. The matching metal dimmer cap maintains the finish consistency across the faceplate, and the IP20 rating suits all dry internal locations. Knightsbridge provides a 25-year warranty on this range.

Frequently Asked
Does this plate include the dimmer module?
No. This is an unpopulated plate supplied with the metal dimmer cap but no dimmer module. You need to purchase a compatible Knightsbridge dimmer module separately and fit it into the plate during installation.
What back box depth is required?
The plate requires a standard UK back box, typically 25mm minimum depth. The screwless cover clips onto a metal sub-frame that fixes to the back box using two screws.
Can centre and offset modules both be fitted?
Yes. The plate accepts both centre-mounted and offset dimmer modules, giving flexibility depending on the wiring configuration and back box position. Check the dimmer module specification to confirm compatibility.
What is the difference between smoked bronze and matt black?
Smoked bronze has a warmer, brownish-bronze tone with a subtle brushed texture, while matt black is a cooler, neutral dark finish. Smoked bronze pairs better with warm-toned interiors, brass accents and mid-century or industrial schemes.
