{"product_id":"1-gang-retractive-light-switch-midnight-blue","title":"1 Gang Retractive Home Automation Switch - Midnight Blue","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003ePress 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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\u003eMidnight Blue\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.
