Each gang is rated at 10AX on 230V mains, handling loads up to 2,300W per circuit, making it suitable for high-wattage lighting installations including multi-bulb chandeliers, halogen downlight arrays, and commercial fluorescent circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, hospitality and commercial installation, the switch fits a standard 16mm minimum mounting box depth and uses screw terminals for solid cable connection. The 2-way configuration allows each of the three circuits to be controlled from this switch and a second switch elsewhere in the room, a common requirement for staircases, long corridors, and rooms with multiple entry points. The integrated gasket behind the faceplate limits dust ingress and provides an IP20 rating for general indoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brushed chrome finish is applied to premium-grade steel, giving a directional satin texture that reduces fingerprint visibility compared to polished finishes. The square edge profile sits flush with the wall without a raised bevelled edge, suiting modern and contemporary interiors where clean lines are prioritised. Each rocker is colour-matched to the faceplate, maintaining visual consistency across the plate surface. The switch carries EN 60669-1 certification and a 25-year warranty.\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\u003e89 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
