Description

The Knightsbridge 10AX 1-gang 2-way switch features a gunmetal flat plate finish over premium-grade steel construction. The ultra-low profile design projects just 2.5mm from the wall once fitted, creating a flush appearance that sits almost level with the plasterwork. The matching gunmetal rocker sits within the plate aperture, giving a monochrome finish with no contrasting insert colour.

Designed for two-way lighting control where a single circuit is switched from two separate positions, such as staircases, long hallways, or rooms with multiple entry points. The 10AX rating handles lighting loads up to 2,300W on a 230V circuit, covering most residential and light commercial installations. The switch fits a 16mm minimum back box depth, making it compatible with shallow pattress boxes used in dot-and-dab or stud partition walls.

The gunmetal finish is a dark grey-brown metallic tone that pairs with industrial, contemporary and monochrome interiors. The flat plate design uses visible fixing screws rather than a screwless cover, keeping the cost lower than screwless equivalents while maintaining a clean geometric profile. The built-in gasket between plate and wall surface reduces dust ingress and provides a tighter fit against uneven plaster. Certified to EN 60669-1 and carries IP20 rating for dry indoor use.

Frequently Asked

What is two-way switching?

Two-way switching allows a single lighting circuit to be controlled from two separate switch positions, typically at opposite ends of a hallway or at the top and bottom of a staircase. This requires two 2-way switches wired in parallel. For switching from three or more positions, you would need intermediate switches between the two 2-way switches.

What back box depth is required?

A 16mm minimum back box depth is needed. This shallow depth makes the switch suitable for dot-and-dab plasterboard walls, stud partitions, and renovation projects where deeper back boxes cannot be chased into masonry.

Is this a screwless plate?

No. The flat plate design uses visible fixing screws to secure the faceplate to the back box. This differs from Knightsbridge's screwless ranges where a cover plate clips onto a separate sub-frame. The screw-fixed design is simpler to install and typically lower cost.

What other finishes are available in this range?

Knightsbridge produces this flat plate style in multiple finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass, matt black and white. Search Niori for the FP range code or use the finish filters to find other variants in stock.
