Description

The Knightsbridge 10AX 1-gang intermediate switch provides switching capability for three-point lighting circuits, commonly used in staircases, long hallways and landings where a single lighting circuit is controlled from three separate locations. The switch features a brushed chrome screwless faceplate that clips onto a separate mounting frame, eliminating visible fixings on the wall once installed.

Rated at 10AX on 230V 50Hz mains, the switch handles lighting loads up to 2,300W. The switch mechanism is housed behind a premium-grade steel faceplate with a brushed chrome finish that provides a low-sheen metallic surface resistant to fingerprints and minor surface marks. The screwless cover plate measures 87.5mm square with a 4.3mm projection from the wall, fitting a minimum 16mm mounting box depth.

An intermediate switch differs from a standard two-way switch in that it reverses the switching state when used between two two-way switches in a three-point circuit. The Knightsbridge mechanism includes an integral gasket for moisture resistance and an earth terminal for grounding metal faceplates. The IP20 rating limits this switch to dry indoor use only — it is not rated for bathrooms, wet rooms or outdoor installation.

Frequently Asked

What is an intermediate switch used for?

An intermediate switch is used in three-point lighting circuits where a single light or group of lights needs to be controlled from three separate locations. It sits between two two-way switches in the circuit. Common applications include staircases with switches at the top, middle landing and bottom, or long hallways with switches at both ends and one in the centre.

What back box depth is required?

A minimum 16mm mounting box depth is required for safe installation. The screwless cover plate adds 4.3mm of projection from the wall once fitted.

Is the screwless plate removable for redecorating?

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

Can this be used in bathrooms?

No. The IP20 rating limits this switch to dry indoor use only. It is not rated for installation in bathrooms, wet rooms, or any location where moisture or water splash is present.
