10AX 3 Gang 2-Way Toggle Switch - Brushed Chrome Square Edge

The Knightsbridge 10AX 3-gang 2-way toggle switch provides three independent 10-amp lighting circuits behind a brushed chrome square edge faceplate. Each toggle operates a 2-way circuit, allowing lights to be controlled from two locations — typically used where a room has two entry points or where a hallway and landing both need control over the same stairwell lighting.

The square edge design uses a defined 90-degree corner rather than a rounded profile, giving the switch a sharper architectural appearance that pairs with contemporary and industrial interiors. The faceplate is constructed from 430 stainless steel with a brushed chrome finish that softens reflections and resists fingerprinting better than polished alternatives. An integrated gasket behind the plate provides an IP20 rating and keeps dust out of the back box.

The 10AX rating handles lighting loads up to 2,300W per gang at 230V, which accommodates larger rooms with multiple ceiling fittings or higher-wattage decorative pendants. The switch requires a minimum 16mm back box depth and uses screw terminals compatible with standard UK twin-and-earth wiring. Knightsbridge backs the switch with a 25-year guarantee covering mechanical failure and finish degradation.

Product Specification Sheet

What does 2-way switching mean?

A 2-way switch allows the same light to be controlled from two separate locations. Common applications include controlling stairwell lights from both the ground floor and landing, or controlling bedroom lights from both the door and bedside. Each gang on this 3-gang switch operates independently as a 2-way circuit.

What's the difference between square edge and rounded edge?

Square edge plates have a defined 90-degree corner and a sharper architectural profile. Rounded edge plates have a softer corner radius. The choice is aesthetic — square edge suits contemporary and industrial interiors, while rounded edge pairs with traditional and transitional schemes.

What back box depth is required?

A minimum 16mm back box depth is needed for safe installation. The switch projects 28.9mm from the wall once fitted, with 7mm recessed behind the faceplate into the box.

Can this be used with LED bulbs?

Yes. The 10AX rating is compatible with LED, halogen, incandescent and low-energy bulbs. The switch controls the mains voltage to the light fitting — bulb type does not affect compatibility unless the LED driver or transformer requires a specific minimum load, which is rare in domestic settings.
