{"product_id":"1-gang-double-20a-light-switch-copper","title":"20A Double Pole Switch with Neon - Copper","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eCopper on the plate, chrome on the insert, and a neon window that glows while the circuit is live: this is a 20A double pole rocker switch. Double pole switching breaks the live and the neutral together, which is why switches of this pattern are asked for at appliances rather than on lighting circuits. The front is screwless, so the face clips over its base and reads as a clean square, 88mm each way, with no screw heads on show. The rocker is wide and easy to find by feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe would fit one of these where an appliance wants its own local isolator: a cooker hood over a hob, an immersion heater in an airing cupboard, a heated towel rail on a landing, a waste disposal under the sink. The neon saves guesswork, since you can see from across the room whether the appliance is being fed. It suits kitchens, utility rooms and workshops, indoors and on a domestic supply, and it is a sensible choice for anyone who wants the isolator to look like part of the scheme rather than an afterthought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate and rocker are moulded in polycarbonate, with the copper finish on the face and the chrome insert set into the rocker, and the switch is double insulated throughout. Copper does not want scouring: dust the face with a dry cloth, and where fingerprints gather at the rocker, a barely damp cloth and nothing more. Cream cleaners, bleach wipes and solvents will dull it. It carries a ten year warranty. We like copper best where there is already something warm in the room, oak, brick, unlacquered brass, and along a wall of plates we would keep the finish the same throughout so the run holds together.\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\u003eCopper\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\u003eMetallic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.10KG\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.
