Description

Press it and it springs straight back: this is a retractive rocker, so each push sends a momentary signal rather than holding a circuit open or closed. That makes it the control to reach for with home automation relays, impulse modules and smart lighting systems that expect a pulse instead of a latched position. The plate wears a deep midnight blue finish with a chrome rocker set into it, and the screwless front gives a flat, unbroken face with no screw heads on show.

We would fit one of these where the lighting is doing more than going on and off: scene control in an open-plan kitchen, a bedside push that works a lamp through a wireless relay, or hall lighting run from a central controller. It is rated at 10AX, which covers normal domestic lighting duty, and a single gang keeps the plate quiet on the wall beside a door or at the top of the stairs. It suits anyone putting together a smart lighting setup who wants the wall control to read as proper switchgear rather than a plastic gadget.

The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, with the colour part of the material rather than a coat of paint sitting on the surface. It is double insulated, and meant for dry indoor rooms on an ordinary household supply. For the occasional finger mark, a soft cloth and a little warm water will do, then dry it off; solvents, polishes and cream cleaners dull the moulding and are best kept well away. It carries a ten year warranty. The chrome rocker lifts the dark plate a little, and we find it sits happily with chrome door furniture and with walls painted in the deeper blues and greys.

Frequently Asked

What does a retractive switch actually do?

It is momentary. The rocker returns to its rest position as soon as you let go, sending a short pulse rather than staying in an on or off position. That pulse is what home automation relays, impulse modules and smart lighting controllers read.

Can I use it as a normal on/off light switch?

No. Because it does not stay in position, it will not hold a lighting circuit on. Use a standard rocker switch for that, and keep this one for automation and pulse-driven systems.

What size is the plate?

It is 88mm square, with a plate depth of 25mm behind the front face.

What is the current rating?

10AX, which is the usual rating for domestic lighting switchgear.

Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outbuilding?

It is rated IP20 and intended for indoor use only, so keep it to dry rooms rather than shower areas or anywhere exposed to damp.

How long is the warranty?

Ten years.
