The 10AX rating handles loads up to 2,300W per gang, making it suitable for standard domestic lighting circuits including multiple LED fittings, halogen downlights and traditional filament bulbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for 2-way circuits where a single light or group of lights needs to be controlled from two different switch positions, such as opposite ends of a hallway, top and bottom of a staircase, or either side of a bedroom. The square-edge design sits flush to the wall without a raised border, giving a clean architectural finish that works in both contemporary and traditional interiors. The white thermoset resin construction includes anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, making it suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and healthcare environments where surface hygiene matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16mm minimum back box depth requirement makes this switch compatible with shallow plasterboard walls and stud partitions where deeper metal boxes cannot be accommodated. The thermoset resin faceplate resists impact, heat and UV discolouration better than standard plastic switches, and the included screw cap covers hide the fixing screws for a seamless finish once installed. The switch carries a 25-year warranty and is certified to EN 60669-1 for electrical safety.\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.

A 1-way switch only controls from a single location. This is a 2-gang 2-way switch, meaning it has two separate switches on one plate, each capable of controlling a light from two positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat back box depth is required?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis switch requires a minimum 16mm back box depth, making it suitable for shallow plasterboard walls and stud partitions.
