Description

The Knightsbridge 10AX 1-gang 2-way switch is designed to meet Building Regulations Part M for accessible installations, with an anthracite thermoset resin faceplate and white rocker providing high visual contrast. The anthracite finish carries a Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of approximately 8.9, which when paired with the white rocker and a typical wall finish achieves the recommended 30-point LRV contrast to aid visibility for partially sighted users.

Designed for residential care homes, public buildings, and accessible housing where Part M compliance is required, the switch controls two-way lighting circuits rated up to 10AX at 230V. The white rocker sits proud of the anthracite faceplate, giving a tactile edge that can be felt before switching. The switch fits a standard 16mm minimum depth back box and projects only 7mm from the wall once installed, keeping the profile low in circulation spaces where projections matter.

The thermoset resin construction carries inherent anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, reducing bacterial surface contamination between cleans. The curved edge profile softens the visual impact against painted walls compared to sharp-edged switches, while the anthracite finish hides finger marks and surface wear better than white or chrome alternatives. Knightsbridge backs the switch with a 25-year warranty.

Frequently Asked

What makes this switch Part M compliant?

Part M of the Building Regulations requires accessible design in public and care buildings. The switch achieves compliance through high visual contrast: the anthracite faceplate (LRV 8.9) paired with the white rocker delivers the recommended 30-point LRV difference, making the switch visible to partially sighted users. The rocker also sits proud of the plate, giving a tactile edge.

What does 10AX mean?

10AX is the current rating: the switch can handle up to 10 amps on lighting circuits at 230V AC. This covers most domestic and commercial lighting loads, including larger two-way circuits controlling multiple fittings.

What back box depth is required?

A minimum 16mm back box depth is needed. The switch projects 7mm from the wall once installed, giving a total depth of 23mm from the back of the back box to the front of the rocker.

What are the anti-microbial properties?

The thermoset resin construction includes anti-microbial additives that reduce bacterial surface contamination. This has been third-party tested to ISO 22196:2011. It does not replace cleaning but slows bacterial growth between cleans, particularly useful in care homes, hospitals and public washrooms.
