Description

The Knightsbridge 10AX 1-gang 2-way retractive switch provides momentary control for door entry systems, bells, stairwell lighting and compatible dimming modules. The switch uses a push-to-make mechanism that springs back after each press, marked 'PRESS' on the rocker face. The white square-edge faceplate is made from thermoset resin with an anti-microbial finish, making it suitable for healthcare, hospitality and public environments where hygiene matters.

Designed for wall installation in homes, offices, hotels and commercial buildings, the switch fits a 16mm minimum back box depth and connects as a single-pole 2-way device rated at 10AX on 230V 50Hz mains. The retractive action suits applications where the switch should not remain in an 'on' state — door release buttons, bell pushes, or momentary lighting control. When paired with compatible dimming modules, the press-and-hold function allows gradual dimming up or down.

The square-edge profile sits 13.1mm proud of the wall once fitted, with a 9.9mm recessed depth behind the mounting box. The 86mm square plate matches standard UK switch sizing and the white thermoset finish provides a durable, wipe-clean surface that resists discolouration over time. The IP20 rating makes it suitable for dry indoor locations.

Frequently Asked

What is a retractive switch used for?

A retractive switch springs back after each press, providing momentary contact rather than staying in an 'on' position. Common applications include door entry release buttons, doorbell pushes, stairwell timed lighting, and press-and-hold dimming when paired with compatible dimmer modules.

What back box depth is required?

A 16mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The switch projects 13.1mm from the wall once fitted.

Can this be used with a dimmer?

Yes, when paired with compatible dimming modules the retractive action allows press-and-hold dimming — a short press turns the light on or off, and holding the switch dims the light up or down gradually.

What does the anti-microbial finish do?

The anti-microbial coating inhibits bacterial growth on the switch surface, making it suitable for healthcare facilities, care homes, commercial kitchens and other environments where hygiene is a priority.
