Description
The Knightsbridge CL2PC is a 10AX 1-gang 2-way light switch with a polished chrome rounded edge faceplate and a matching polished chrome rocker. The 10AX rating handles up to 2,300W on 230V mains, making it suitable for controlling standard domestic lighting circuits including those with multiple bulbs or higher-wattage fittings.
Designed for two-way control, the switch allows a single light or group of lights to be controlled from two separate wall positions — typically at either end of a hallway, staircase or large room. The rounded edge faceplate projects 7.5mm from the wall once fitted to a standard 16mm minimum depth back box, giving a subtle stepped profile rather than a flat screwless plate. The polished chrome finish provides a reflective metallic surface that pairs well with contemporary interiors, chrome door furniture and modern bathroom fixtures.
The faceplate is constructed from premium-grade steel with a built-in gasket behind the rocker aperture to create a tight seal against the mounting box, reducing light leakage and improving the finished appearance. Screw terminals inside the switch accept 1.0-2.5mm² cable, and an earth terminal is provided for Class I earthed installations. The switch carries IP20 rating for dry internal use and meets EN 60669-1 standards, with a 25-year warranty from Knightsbridge.

Frequently Asked
What does 2-way switching mean?
Two-way switching allows a single light or group of lights to be controlled from two separate wall switch positions. This requires a second 2-way switch wired in parallel, typically installed at the opposite end of a hallway, staircase or room. The circuit uses three-core-and-earth cable between the two switch positions.
What back box depth is required?
A 16mm minimum mounting box depth is needed for safe installation. The rounded edge faceplate adds 7.5mm of projection from the wall once fitted, giving a total of approximately 23.5mm from the wall surface to the front of the rocker.
Is this switch suitable for dimming?
No. This is a standard 2-way rocker switch rated at 10AX for resistive loads. For dimming control, a dedicated dimmer switch is required — Knightsbridge produces compatible dimmer modules in the same polished chrome rounded edge finish.
What other finishes are available in this range?
Knightsbridge produces the rounded edge range in multiple finishes including brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass, satin brass, matt black and white. Use the search function or filters at Niori to find other variants.
