Description
A flat screwless plate in brushed steel, with chrome rockers set into the face and no fixing screws on show. The two gang layout puts both switches side by side on a single plate, so a room's main light and a secondary circuit sit under one hand. The rockers give a firm, quiet click rather than a loose flick, and the brushed grain across the steel keeps fingerprints and everyday marks from standing out the way a mirror polish does. It is a compact plate that sits close to the wall.
This is a plain workhorse for hallways, stairs, landings, bedrooms and living rooms, wherever two lighting circuits meet at one point. Being two way, it can be paired with a matching switch elsewhere so the same light answers at either end of a hall or staircase, which is the arrangement we most often fit upstairs and down. It is intended for indoor rooms on ordinary household lighting circuits, and we would keep it out of bathroom zones and anywhere exposed to damp or spray. We reach for it when a room needs proper switching without any decorative fuss.
The plate is steel over an polycarbonate body, double insulated, and the chrome inserts pick up the cooler tone of the brushed face rather than fighting it. To clean, take a dry lint free cloth along the grain of the steel; skip cream cleaners, wire wool and solvent sprays, all of which will dull the brushed surface for good. It carries a ten year warranty. Brushed steel and chrome is one of the easier hardware finishes to build a room around, sitting comfortably with chrome taps, stainless appliances and grey or off white paintwork, and it makes a tidy match for other screwless plates on the same wall. Bulbs and shades are chosen separately, of course.

Frequently Asked
What current rating does this switch carry?
It is a 10AX rocker switch, which covers normal domestic lighting circuits.
What does two way switching mean here?
Each gang can be wired as part of a pair, so one light can be operated from two separate switch positions, such as the bottom and top of a staircase. It will also work as a standard on/off switch.
How big is the plate?
The plate measures 88mm square and sits 25mm deep at the rear.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outside?
No. It is rated IP20 and made for dry indoor rooms only.
Will household cleaners harm the finish?
Yes, abrasive creams, scouring pads and solvent-based sprays will scratch or cloud the brushed steel. A dry cloth wiped along the grain is all it needs.
What is the switch made from?
A steel plate with an polycarbonate body behind it, with chrome rocker inserts. It is Class 2, double insulated.
