{"product_id":"1-gang-retractive-light-switch-dark-green","title":"1 Gang Retractive Home Automation Switch - Dark Green","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rocker here is retractive: press it and it springs straight back, sending a momentary signal to a home automation module rather than latching a circuit on and off. That makes it a control point for a smart lighting system rather than a switch that holds the load itself. The plate is screwless, so the face is unbroken by fixings, finished in a deep green with a chrome rocker and surround for contrast. It is rated at 10AX and measures 88mm square, keeping to the footprint of a standard single gang plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits homes running their lighting through relays, dimming modules or a central controller, where the wall plate is the touchpoint and the clever part lives elsewhere. Hallways, landings, kitchens and bedrooms all take it, and the momentary action is useful where a press should call a scene rather than simply cut the light. We like it in rooms with darker paint or panelling, where a white plate would jump out, though against a pale wall it reads as a small point of colour instead. Indoor rooms on a domestic supply are where it belongs, well away from splashes and steam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate is moulded polycarbonate, double insulated, and light in the hand. The chrome on the rocker and its surround lifts the green and picks up other polished metal in the room. To clean, wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry it off straight away; sprays, solvents and abrasive creams will dull the surface, so keep them off it entirely. It carries a ten year warranty. Coloured plates reward a little restraint, so we would pick one accent finish for a room and let the rest of the ironmongery stay quiet.\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\u003eDark Green\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.
