Description

The Knightsbridge 10AX 1-gang DP switch provides single-circuit control with dual-pole switching behind a brushed chrome screwless faceplate. The 10AX rating handles lighting loads up to 2,300W and the double-pole configuration isolates both live and neutral lines when switched off, making it suitable for bathroom circuits where a single switch controls both a light and an extractor fan boost function.

Designed for residential and light commercial installation, the switch fits a 16mm minimum back box depth and uses a screwless cover plate that clips onto a separate metal sub-frame. This means there are no visible screws or fixings on the wall once installed, giving a cleaner finish than traditional screw-fixed plates. The integrated gasket behind the faceplate provides moisture resistance to IP20 standard, suitable for general indoor areas including bathrooms outside shower zones.

The brushed chrome finish is premium-grade steel with a directional brushed texture that softens reflections and resists fingerprints better than polished finishes. The metal rocker matches the faceplate finish, giving a monolithic appearance when the switch is installed. The 87.5mm square profile and 4.3mm projection from the wall suit both new builds and retrofit applications where a low-profile fitting is needed. Certified to EN 60669-1 and covered by Knightsbridge's 25-year warranty.

Frequently Asked

What back box depth is required?

A 16mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The screwless cover plate adds 4.3mm of projection from the wall once fitted, giving a total depth of approximately 20mm from the back of the mounting box to the face of the switch.

What does DP mean and why would I need it?

DP stands for double pole. A double-pole switch isolates both the live and neutral lines when switched off, rather than just the live line as a single-pole switch does. This is commonly used in bathrooms where one switch controls both a light and an extractor fan boost circuit, or where complete isolation of a circuit is needed for safety.

Is the screwless plate removable for redecorating?

Yes. The cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box. The cover can be removed for painting around the switch and re-clipped without re-wiring.

What other finishes are available in this range?

Knightsbridge produces this style in polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass, matt black and white. Use the search function or filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
