{"product_id":"1-gang-double-20a-light-switch-light-grey","title":"20A Double Pole Switch with Neon - Light Grey","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a single gang rocker switch on a screwless light grey plate, with a chrome insert around the rocker and a neon indicator that glows while the circuit is live. It switches double pole, so both live and neutral are broken when the rocker is off, and it is rated at 20A. The plate is a plain 88mm square with no visible screw heads, so the front reads as a clean panel with only the rocker and the small window of the neon breaking it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe would fit this where a circuit needs proper isolation rather than a simple on and off: a utility room feeding a washing machine or tumble dryer, a kitchen appliance run, a garage, a workshop or a boiler cupboard. The neon earns its keep in those rooms, since a glance tells you whether the circuit is still live before you go any further. Light grey sits more quietly than white against painted walls and grey cabinetry, and the screwless plate keeps the wall uncluttered where several switches sit side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate and rocker are moulded in polycarbonate, double insulated in use, and made for indoor rooms running on a domestic mains supply. Dust comes off with a dry cloth; fingerprints on the chrome lift with a cloth barely damp with water followed by a dry buff, and nothing stronger belongs near the neon window. Solvent cleaners and cream abrasives will dull the moulding, so keep them away. It carries a ten year warranty. The chrome ring gives the grey plate a little definition, worth bearing in mind if you are matching plates along one wall.\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\u003eLight Grey\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\u003eColour\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.
