{"product_id":"1-gang-retractive-light-switch-charcoal","title":"1 Gang Retractive Home Automation Switch - Charcoal","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate here is charcoal with a chrome rocker at the centre, a quiet pairing that reads darker than grey without going fully black. The face is screwless, so the finish runs unbroken to the edges of the 88mm square plate. The action is retractive: press it and it springs straight back, rather than staying down the way an ordinary switch does. It is rated 10AX, and the moulding is polycarbonate rather than metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA retractive switch does not hold a circuit on by itself; it sends a momentary signal to whatever sits behind it, which makes it the right choice alongside home automation and lighting control gear. Short press, long press and double press can each be given a job by the system, so a hallway switch can run a whole scene as easily as the ceiling light. We reach for this one in bedrooms and on landings where someone wants app and voice control but still wants something on the wall to press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction is moulded polycarbonate throughout, double insulated, in charcoal with the chrome insert as the only contrast against it. It is intended for indoor rooms running on an ordinary domestic supply. To clean, turn the power off at the consumer unit, wipe the plate with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away; household sprays and cream cleaners will dull the chrome, so keep them off it. It carries a ten year warranty. Charcoal holds its own against dark paint and stained timber where white plastic would jump out, and we tend to sit it alongside matt black or dark grey fittings in the same room.\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\u003eCharcoal\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\u003e0.07KG\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.
