Description
Two rotary knobs sit side by side on a flat, screwless plate, each one turning to set the level on its own lighting circuit and clicking off at the end of its travel. The plate is warm grey, a soft mid-tone that sits more quietly on a painted wall than bright white does, while the knobs are chrome, giving a small point of shine where your hand lands. With no fixings showing on the front face, it stays tidy in the places switches get looked at most, beside a doorway or at the top of the stairs where you pass it a dozen times a day.
We stock this for rooms where the lighting wants adjusting rather than simply switching on and off: a sitting room with wall lights and a pendant on separate circuits, a bedroom where you want a low glow last thing at night, a dining room that has to serve homework and a long evening meal equally well. It is rated at 100W and is intended for dimmable LED lamps on household lighting circuits indoors. Rotary control suits anyone who prefers a dial they can feel to a rocker or a touch plate, and the setting holds where you left it, so the room comes back at the level you chose.
The body is moulded polycarbonate and double insulated, so the whole thing is light and stable in the hand. Keep it clean with a dry cloth, or one barely dampened, working around the knobs rather than pressing over them, and steer clear of solvents and cream cleaners, which will dull the plate and haze the chrome. It carries a ten year warranty. We would repeat the same warm grey plate on the sockets and switches nearby, so the hardware in a room reads as one family rather than a mismatched set.

Frequently Asked
Will it dim LED lamps?
Yes. It is made for dimmable LED lamps and is rated at 100W, so check that the lamps you are using are marked as dimmable and keep the total load on each knob within that figure.
How large is the plate?
The plate measures 88mm square, which is the usual single plate footprint, so it lines up neatly with other plates fitted at the same height.
Can it be used as one of a pair controlling the same lights?
It is a 2 way dimmer, so it can be wired as part of a pair, for example one at a bedroom door and one at the bedside.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outbuilding?
No. It is for indoor use only on domestic lighting circuits, in dry rooms such as bedrooms, hallways and living rooms.
What is the finish made from, and will it mark?
The plate and knobs are on an polycarbonate body with a chrome knob finish. Fingerprints wipe off with a soft cloth; abrasive pads and chemical cleaners will leave permanent dulling, so avoid them.
