Description

This is a one gang retractive rocker switch on a screwless plate, finished in a deep dark brown with a chrome rocker at its centre. The action is momentary: press it and it springs straight back, sending a pulse rather than holding a circuit open or closed. The front is flat and unbroken, with no fixing screws on show, so the plate reads as a single piece of colour on the wall. It measures 88mm square.

Retractive switches belong with home automation and smart lighting: relay modules, dimmer packs, lighting controllers and impulse gear that expect a brief signal rather than a latched one. Rated at 10AX, it will cope with a household lighting circuit comfortably. We reach for one of these where a room wants a proper switch on the wall but the switching itself is happening in a module elsewhere, so it suits anyone building up a controlled system across a hallway, a landing, a bedroom or a sitting room. The earthy brown sits happily with timber, warm paint colours and heritage shades where a white plate would jump forward.

The plate and rocker are moulded in polycarbonate, a hard-wearing plastic that holds its colour rather than yellowing, and the switch is double insulated. It is meant for dry rooms indoors, running on an ordinary household supply. Keeping it presentable asks very little: with the circuit switched off, wipe the plate with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight after, and keep polishes, cream cleaners and solvents away from the moulding, as they can dull the surface. It carries a ten year warranty. The chrome rocker gives the dark brown just enough lift, and the flat plate keeps the wall quiet in rooms where you would rather the lighting did the talking than the switch.

Frequently Asked

What does a retractive switch actually do?

It is momentary. The rocker springs back to its rest position as soon as you let go, sending a short pulse instead of latching on or off, which is what home automation modules, relays and impulse controllers are looking for.

Can I use it as a normal light switch?

No. Because it does not stay in position, it needs a controller, relay or dimmer module that accepts a momentary input to do the switching for it.

How large is the plate?

The plate measures 88mm by 88mm, so it matches the footprint of a standard single plate.

What is the plate made from, and how should I clean it?

It is moulded polycarbonate in dark brown with a chrome rocker. Switch the circuit off, wipe with a slightly damp cloth, dry it, and avoid abrasive creams, polishes and solvents.

Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outbuilding?

It is rated IP20, so it is for dry indoor rooms on a domestic supply rather than damp or exposed positions.

Is there a warranty?

Yes, it carries a ten year warranty.
