The intermediate switch sits in the middle position of a three-switch circuit, coordinating with two 2-way switches at either end to provide consistent on-off control regardless of which switch is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt from white thermoset resin with a 9mm square edge plate measuring 86mm x 86mm, the switch fits standard UK 16mm minimum back boxes and uses visible screw fixings with white screw caps for a clean finish once installed. The 10AX rating handles lighting circuits up to 2,300W on 230V mains, suitable for most domestic and light commercial lighting loads including LED, halogen and incandescent bulbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thermoset construction includes anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, reducing bacterial growth on the surface — useful in high-traffic areas like stairwells and communal hallways. The IP20 rating confirms suitability for dry indoor locations. Knightsbridge backs this switch with a 25-year warranty and EN 60669-1 certification for safety and performance.\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\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.

An intermediate switch sits in the middle of a three-or-more-switch circuit, allowing the light to be controlled from any position. You need two 2-way switches plus one or more intermediate switches to control a single light from three or more locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat back box depth is required?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 16mm minimum back box depth is needed.
