The double pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines, providing full circuit isolation when switched off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for bathrooms, utility rooms and assisted living environments where visibility and hygiene matter, the switch uses a screwless curved-edge cover plate that hides fixings for a cleaner wall finish. The wide rocker button is easier to operate than a standard rocker for users with reduced dexterity or visual impairment. The anti-microbial surface treatment inhibits bacterial growth on the faceplate, third-party tested to ISO 22196:2011.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white plate with dark anthracite rocker creates high visual contrast under most lighting conditions, making the switch easier to locate on a wall. The 10AX rating handles resistive loads up to 2,300W at 230V, suitable for lighting circuits, extractor fans and similar appliances. The switch fits a 16mm minimum back box depth and projects 14.6mm from the wall once installed, with captive terminals that hold wiring securely during cover plate removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28.9mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.6mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecessed Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
