10AX 6 Gang 2-Way Switch - Brushed Chrome Rounded Edge

The Knightsbridge 10AX 6-gang 2-way switch provides six independent lighting circuits behind a brushed chrome faceplate with rounded edges and matching metal rockers. Each rocker is rated at 10A (10 amps), handling loads up to 2,300W per circuit on 230V mains. The 2-way configuration allows each circuit to be controlled from two separate switch positions, making it suitable for rooms with multiple entry points or where lighting control is needed at opposite ends of a space.

Designed for residential and light commercial installation, the switch fits rooms requiring multiple independent lighting zones — open-plan kitchen-diners with separate task, accent and ambient circuits, home theatres with scene lighting, or offices where desk, overhead and wall lighting operate independently. The rounded edge profile sits 7.5mm proud of the wall once mounted, with softened corners that reduce visual bulk compared to square-edge designs. The 6-gang layout concentrates control in one location rather than spreading switches across multiple faceplates.

The brushed chrome finish is applied to premium-grade steel, giving a directional grain texture that reduces fingerprint visibility and pairs with both warm and cool-toned interiors. The matching metal rockers maintain the same brushed finish across the entire faceplate, creating a unified appearance without the colour contrast typical of white or black inserts. The plate includes an integrated gasket between the faceplate and back box, and the switch carries IP20 rating for dry indoor locations. Installation requires a minimum 16mm back box depth, shallower than many modern screwless designs.

The switch is certified to EN 60669-1 and carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty. Each rocker operates independently, so one circuit being switched does not affect the state of the others. The screw terminals accept solid or stranded cable up to 2.5mm² and include an earth terminal for connection to the back box.

Product Specification Sheet

Product Manual

What does 2-way switching mean?

2-way switching allows each of the six circuits to be controlled from two separate switch locations. This is commonly used where a room has two entry points, or where you want control of the same lights at opposite ends of a long space. Each circuit requires a matching 2-way switch at the second location.

What back box depth is required?

A 16mm minimum back box depth is needed. This is shallower than many modern screwless designs, making the switch suitable for shallow wall cavities or surface-mounted installation where depth is limited.

What's the difference between rounded edge and screwless?

Rounded edge switches have visible screws securing the faceplate directly to the back box, with softened rather than sharp corners. Screwless designs use a separate sub-frame and clip-on cover plate to hide all fixings. This rounded edge design projects less from the wall (7.5mm vs typically 10mm+) and requires a shallower back box.

Can I mix this with other finishes in the same room?

Knightsbridge produces this 6-gang 2-way switch in multiple finishes including polished chrome, brushed steel, matt black and white. All use the same plate dimensions and back box requirements, allowing you to mix finishes while maintaining consistent sizing across a room.
