The switch meets Building Regulations Part M for accessible design, with white rocker switches set against the anthracite plate to provide a Light Reflectance Value (LRV) contrast of approximately 8.9 for visibility by partially sighted users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, commercial and healthcare installation, the switch is manufactured from thermoset resin with inherent anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, reducing bacterial growth on the surface. The curved edge profile sits 7mm proud of the wall and the 86mm square footprint fits over a standard 16mm minimum back box depth. Each gang operates on 2-way wiring, allowing the same lights to be controlled from two different switch locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anthracite finish is a dark grey tone with a subtle sheen that pairs with contemporary interiors, industrial schemes and monochrome palettes. The white rockers provide the required visual contrast for Part M compliance while maintaining a cohesive colour scheme. Knightsbridge backs this switch with a 25-year warranty and certification to all relevant British safety standards including BS EN 60669-1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 196px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.5557%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.9626%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.5557%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.9626%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.5557%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.9626%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e7 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 41.5557%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eMin.
