Description
Charcoal polycarbonate with a chrome insert, on a screwless plate that keeps the face clear so the front reads as one clean square. Two rockers sit side by side, each of them wired for two way switching, which means the same light can also be worked from another switch elsewhere. The action is a proper rocker with a definite click, easy to find with the flat of a hand when you come in with your arms full.
This is the switch for a hallway with a landing above it, or a through lounge where you want the lights reachable at either door, and the single plate keeps both circuits together rather than spreading them along the wall. We reach for charcoal where the paint behind it is a deeper shade and a white plate would jump out at you; against grey, greige or a dark feature wall it settles back and stops being the first thing you see. It suits refurbishments where switches and sockets are being changed as a set, since the same charcoal and chrome pairing repeats around a room without looking busy.
The body is moulded polycarbonate rather than pressed metal, double insulated, and the chrome is held to the strip behind the rockers so the charcoal stays the dominant colour. The face measures 88mm square, which keeps it compact on a narrow return of wall or beside a door lining. Cleaning wants nothing more than a dry soft cloth drawn across the plate; sprays, cream cleaners and anything with solvent in it will dull both the charcoal and the chrome, so keep those for the worktops. It is meant for indoor rooms on domestic lighting circuits. It carries a ten year warranty. If you are working through a whole room, keeping one plate style across every position is what makes the finish look deliberate.

Frequently Asked
What does two way switching mean here?
Each of the two rockers can be wired so a light is controlled from more than one position, for example at the bottom and top of a stairway. Both rockers can also be used for straightforward one way switching if that is all a room needs.
How big is the plate?
The visible face is 88mm by 88mm, with a plate depth of 25mm behind it.
What is the plate made from?
Moulded polycarbonate in a charcoal finish, with a chrome insert behind the rockers. It is Class 2, double insulated.
How should I clean it?
A dry soft cloth is enough. Avoid household sprays, cream cleaners and solvent-based products, as they can mark the charcoal and take the shine off the chrome.
Can it be used in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry indoor rooms on domestic lighting circuits.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a ten year warranty.
