{"product_id":"1-gang-retractive-light-switch-ocean-blue","title":"1 Gang Retractive Home Automation Switch - Ocean Blue","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rocker here is retractive: press it and it springs straight back, sending a momentary signal rather than latching on or off. That makes it a control for an automation system rather than a switch wired straight to a light, and it is rated at 10AX. The plate wears an ocean blue finish with a chrome rocker set at the centre, and the screwless front gives a clean square face with no screw heads breaking it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe would reach for this where the switching itself happens elsewhere, at a relay, a dimming module or a smart lighting controller, and the wall plate simply asks it to act. Hallways, landings, kitchens and bedsides all suit it, and it is a sensible choice beside a bed where one press can drop a whole room to night mode. Being one gang, it stays legible: a single press for a single function, with a longer hold doing whatever the system has been set up to do. Anyone building a wired automation setup will know the type well, and the blue is a friendly change from white plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate and rocker are moulded in polycarbonate, double insulated, and light to handle at a square 88mm face. To clean, use a soft cloth just damp with water and dry it off afterwards; solvents, cream cleaners and scouring pads will take the sheen off the colour, so keep them well away. It is intended for dry rooms indoors on a household supply, so not bathroom zones or damp outbuildings. It carries a ten year warranty. We stock it in the ocean blue shown here, and the chrome rocker gives you a link to chrome sockets, handles and taps already in the 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\u003eOcean 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.
