Description
The plate here is a soft moss green with no visible screws across its face, so the front reads as one clean square. A chrome rocker sits at the centre, with a neon insert that glows while the circuit is live, giving a clear read from across the room. It switches double pole, breaking both live and neutral, and is rated at 20A for appliance duty. The rocker action is firm and quiet.
This is the switch we reach for where an appliance wants its own control rather than a plug and socket: a cooker hood, a boiler, an extractor, a heater in a utility room. The neon earns its place in a kitchen, telling you at a glance whether something is still running when the appliance itself sits out of sight behind a cupboard door. A single gang plate keeps the wall calm above a busy worktop, and the green sits well in rooms that have moved away from white paint and white plastic. It suits kitchens, utility rooms, boot rooms and hallway cupboards.
The body and plate are polycarbonate, double insulated, finished in moss green with the chrome insert as the only contrast. The plate measures 88mm square, so it keeps to a familiar footprint. To clean it, wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry it off; solvents and cream cleaners will dull the green, so keep them well away. It is meant for dry indoor rooms running on a normal household supply, not for anywhere it might be splashed. It carries a ten year warranty. We would use it in a run of matching moss green plates so the switching settles into the wall rather than punctuating it.

Frequently Asked
What does double pole switching mean on this switch?
It breaks both the live and the neutral conductors when you turn it off, rather than the live alone. That is why it is commonly chosen for appliance control, and it is rated at 20A.
What is the neon insert for?
It lights while the circuit is live, so you can tell whether an appliance such as a cooker hood or a boiler has been left switched on when the appliance itself is out of view.
Can it be used in a bathroom or outside?
No. It is made for dry indoor rooms only and should not be placed where it may be splashed or exposed to weather.
What is the plate made from and how should I clean it?
It is polycarbonate, double insulated. Use a barely damp cloth and dry it straight after; avoid solvents, bleach and cream cleaners, which will dull the moss green surface.
How big is the plate?
It is 88mm by 88mm, a standard single plate footprint, with a chrome rocker at the centre.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it carries a ten year warranty.
