Description
The Knightsbridge 10AX 4-gang 2-way switch provides four independent lighting circuits controlled from two locations, mounted behind a polished chrome flat plate with matching metal rockers. The 10AX rating supports loads up to 2,300W per gang on 230V mains, handling multiple lighting zones, downlight circuits, or higher-wattage decorative fittings within a single four-gang plate.
Designed for residential hallways, commercial lobbies, hospitality corridors and anywhere requiring multi-point control over several circuits, the 2-way switching allows each gang to operate from this switch and a second switch elsewhere in the room. The flat plate construction gives a 2.5mm projection from the wall, sitting almost flush with the plasterwork and creating a minimal profile that suits contemporary interiors where traditional raised faceplates would disrupt clean lines.
The plate is constructed from premium-grade steel with a polished chrome finish that provides a bright, mirror-like surface. The metal rockers match the faceplate tone and operate with a defined tactile click. A built-in gasket behind the plate provides IP20-rated protection against dust ingress, and the switch carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty. Installation requires a minimum 16mm back box depth, making it compatible with shallow back boxes where deeper models would not fit.

Frequently Asked
What does 2-way switching mean?
2-way switching allows each gang to be controlled from this switch and a second switch elsewhere in the room or hallway. This is standard for staircases, long corridors, or rooms with two entrances where you need to operate the same light from either location.
What back box depth is required?
The switch requires a minimum 16mm back box depth. The flat plate adds only 2.5mm of projection from the wall once installed, making it suitable for installations where a deeper back box or thicker faceplate would not fit.
What load can each gang handle?
Each gang is rated at 10AX, supporting loads up to 2,300W on 230V mains. This handles multiple LED downlights, standard ceiling fittings, or higher-wattage decorative lighting on a single gang.
How does the polished chrome finish compare to brushed chrome?
Polished chrome provides a bright, mirror-like reflective surface, while brushed chrome has a satin finish with directional grain. Polished chrome shows fingerprints more readily but pairs well with traditional and classical interiors. Knightsbridge produces this switch in both finishes.
